AlagnaItaly
The upside
- Fabulous off-piste and heli-skiing, for both intermediates and experts
- Slopes usually very quiet weekdays
- Panoramic views
- Good snow reliability and grooming
- Quiet, unspoiled village
- Three-valley lift/piste network gives a sensation of travel, but…
The downside
- Virtually no choice of route when touring the three valleys on-piste
- Pistes of mainly easy cruising, with the notable exception of the home run to Alagna
- High winds can close links, and when they do Alagna becomes a one-run resort
- Few off-slope diversions
- Limited après-ski

Summary
Alagna is a peaceful farming village on the far eastern fringes of the Monterosa ski area. The old wooden buildings and quiet streets make it feel distinctly different from the conventional ski resort. But the three-valley network of lifts and pistes is anything but small-scale, and the slopes offer some of the ski area’s best off-piste opportunities. Expert skiers have plenty of bowls to play in, and the black Olen piste is a cracker. Champoluc at one end of the ski area and Alagna at the other are 17km apart, and it’s a four-hour trip by road to get from one to the other.
