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.

New ski area for Espace San Bernardo this winter

New ski area for Espace San Bernardo this winter

Author: Linnea  /  Categories: News  / 
The French-Italian ski area will open this winter season with two new speedy chairlift and a network of new challenging pistes with easy access to a vast range of off piste skiing.

La Thuile on “our” Italian side of the mountain is directly linked to La Rosière in France by the Little Saint Bernad pass. The together ski area, Espace San Bernardo, offers over 160 km of pistes.

The skiable domain will open this winter season with two new speedy chairlift and a network of new challenging pistes in the Mont-Valaisan area. South-west facing, Mont-Valaisan is an area that catches some really good snow.

The 15 million euro ski area expansion will both add advance-level slopes to the area and give the French side of the mountain a more snow sure top altitude. The skiing will be considerably extended with a new highest point at 2800 metres. The new lifts will also give easier access to a huge off-pist area with wide open spaces from where it is possible to freeride all the way down to the village.

La Rosière is part of the Savoi region, just like the big names Val d’Isère, Tignes and Les Arcs. In the less hyped and less crowded La Rosière there are less time queuing for lifts and more time on the slopes. The Espace San Bernardo has only about 14000 tourist beds shared between the two countries. To be compared to a total number of guest beds of 56000 between Tignes and Val d’Isere.
