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.

Thank you Marta and The Alps for an unforgettable week in Champoluc!

Thank you Marta and The Alps for an unforgettable week in Champoluc! We've all been to many different ski resorts over the years, but Champoluc was a little like "coming home" - genuine, focused on skiing with a very pleasant atmosphere! Our last day turned out to be a fabulous lifetime experience with the helicopter lifting us to approximately 4000 meters altitude. We started skiing in 50 cm untouched snow on the Zwilling Glacier and then had a total of 30 km of skiing on stunning glaciers and in a spectacular scenery. We finally came down to the neighboring village of Saint-Jacques at 7 in the evening and then Martha generously came and picked up the completely exhausted skiers with her car – much appreciated! We'll be back again next year and then we will stay in Champoluc until the weather allows us to complete the full tour around Monte Rosa

Warm greetings from Helén with friends
