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.

Christmas time in the Aosta Valley

Author: SuperUser Account  /  Categories: Cervinia, News  / 

Christmas time is coming and in several towns in the Aosta Valley it is already possible to participate in Christmas markets. On the Christmas Eve Valtournenche invites for the special event.

Between December and the 6th of January the “Marché Vert Noël”, Christmas market in Aosta, one-hour drive from Cervinia, changes the town. Visitors can taste delicious local specialties, wines, pastries from the region, and buy handicrafts, traditional objects for gifts. The market is in special surroundings of the Roman Theatre.

Opening hours: 10.00 am to 9.30 pm, with the exception of December 25th and 1st January 2015 from 2.00 pm to 9.30 pm.

If you are in Valtournenche or in the neighborhood the Christmas mass on the 24th December with living nativity scene at the Carrel square can be an interesting option. Similar midnight mass will be also organized in Cogne, Torgnon, La Thuile, and La Salle.

Merry Christmas!
