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.

Try the Sauna Gondola in La Thuile.

Yes we know, the Finns where first, and that they take every occasion to enjoy a steam bath , also at high altitudes. In fact, Finnish Yllä is as far as we know only ski resort with a real sauna gondola.

This winter though, you can have a taste of a sauna gondola also in La Thuile. One of the cabins going up from the village to Les Suches has been  completely covered with wood and equipped to all points to take the form of a sauna. The idea is to provide users, skiers and not, the unique experience of a sauna, while admiring the landscape surrounding the ski resort of La Thuile, with Mount Blanc and the Rutor glacier.

The Sauna Gondola is created in collaboration with QC Terme, and the real sweaty thing is in fact to be found in the QC Termal Bath, in Pre-Saint-Didier just down the road from La Thuile.

The panoramic sauna, accommodates up to 17 people and will be open to the public from the 15th February.
