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.

“Macugnaga

Thanks last week’s heavy snowfall, with more than two and a half meters of powder, Macugnaga anticipates the start of the ski season 2016/2017.

Already this weekend to come, Saturday 3rd and Sunday 4th December, the lifts on Monte Moro will open.

Located in Piedmont at the foot of the awe-inspiring east face of Monterosa, Macugnaga’s skiing is divided into two different sections, whereof Monte Moro is the largest and most challenging one. The cable runs from the central square of the town to the 3000 m of Passo Moro.

Our insider tip for Macugnaga? Go on a ski touring trip to Saas-Fee with our local Mountain Guides. The Swizz resort is just on the other side of Monte Moro!
