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.

Winter Eco Trail by Night in Courmayeur

Do you love running? Why not try Winter Eco Trail by Night in Courmayeur. Full moon, Mont Blanc, and a lot of snow – quite romantic composition and challenging as well, isn’t it?

This is magical scenario for the Courmayeur Winter Eco Trail by Night. Registration for the race is now open. The event will take place on the 27th February. You will run a distance of 13km (and an altitude range 1500m) on snowy ski slopes in Courmayeur. The race will start and end in Courmayeur and runners must finish it within 4 hours and 30 minutes.

Although routes are maybe not so tricky, but difficulty of the race is based on the high altitude. Along the trail control points and refreshments are waiting for runners who can also use changing rooms and hot showers in Courmayeur.

More information about the race and registration you will find here, where you can also download the map.
