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.

Cervinia Goof Friday craft market

There will be an opportunity to admire and buy some regional craftsman’s works in Cervinia. Visit the market on Good Friday!

On the 3rd April in Cervinia the pedestrian area will be covered by stands displaying and selling items in wood, stone, wrought iron, and traditional processing of leather and fabrics. It is an occasion to become familiar with some traditional Aosta Valley craft art.

You will see the influence of wonderful landscapes, woods, waterfalls, and blooming pastures on one hand, and cold ice, cliffs and sharp rocks on the other. Many hundreds years of traditional techniques, as well as a history with its all legends are included in craftworks.

The market will be opened between 9 a.m. and 7 p.m. in Cervinia. 56 craftsmen will present their works made in different techniques.
