Marta's Monterosa Blog

I am passionate about the Alps. They are my heart's home and the place where I would like to spend the last day of my life. I have been a tourist in the village of Champoluc in the Italian Monterosa for all my life and worked as a tourist operator in this area since more than 15 years.

I believe in respect for the special environment of this place that you can find only here. We all gain by enjoying its beauty, while trying to make a minimum impact at the same time. Leave it for our children in the future!

I believe in respect for people who live here with their traditions and culture, language, and work, their genuine products and delicious wines. They open their homes for us, tourists and meet us as their guests, if we are able to open our hearts for them. I have a friend who is a hotel owner and he says that when stressed people from the city come to his place, he tells them to sit down and take a drink before they even begin to worry if they have a room. Perhaps, we can bring a little of their kindness and calmness with us on our way back to the city.

My philosophy is to give back a little of what the mountains and the people from this place have given to me and to my family through my work, to communicate my philosophy and my passion to those who follow me on the blog, and in my trips as a tour operator.

If you would like to visit Champoluc, Gressoney, Alagna or other villages in the Aosta Valley, trek or ski in the Monterosa, discover Sardinia or other places we offer, contact us.

Champoluc in November, part 1

Arrival at Milan Malpensa Airport. A giant monument of everything about Italy that you don’t like. It’s terrible. This fantastic country with all its beauty and this is the best they can do for an airport!

Rental car and directly in to Milan. When I can I always try to make some time for Milan. It’s a great city. This time I got stuck at Prada.

Den fina vandringsresan i Champoluc

Hej Marta!

Här kommer ett sent men varmt tack för den fina vandringsresan i Champoluc. Alla var lyriska över den vackra naturen, det blev fyra jättefina dagar och gav mersmak. Vi återkommer gärna fler gånger. Tack också för inbjudan till tjejskidresan. I år passar det inte för min del, men återkom gärna ett annat...

Sommaren i Champoluc och Bergeggi

Hej Marta!

Hoppas du har en härlig sommar!
Du hjälpte oss med boende, vandringsleder etc till Champoluc och Bergeggi i juli och vi är supernöjda med båda platserna. Fint boende, bra mottagande (hälsa och tacka Linnea) och dyrbara tips.

Dina tips om byar ( Noli, Varigotti, Finalborgo) var klockrena. Mest värdefullt var tipsen om vandringsleder och rifugos, de hade vi inte hittat...
