About the Resort
About Champoluc
Nestled at the end of the beautiful Ayas Valley in the Aosta region, Champoluc is the largest and most vibrant base for exploring Italy's spectacular Monterosa Ski area. Unlike many mega-resorts, it has managed to retain the charm and character of a traditional, rustic Italian alpine village, complete with narrow streets, old wooden chalets, and a distinctly relaxed, unpretentious atmosphere.
The Resort
The resort is a haven for those who prioritize excellent skiing, incredible mountain dining, and stunning scenery over loud après-ski. As part of the three-valley Monterosa network, it offers seamless connections to Gressoney and Alagna. The area is heavily favored by intermediates who love its long, uncrowded red runs, as well as freeriders drawn to some of the most accessible and thrilling off-piste terrain in the Alps, all under the looming shadow of the Monte Rosa massif.
On the Mountain
Champoluc offers superb cruising with perfectly groomed, wide red runs that make up the vast majority of its local terrain. Advanced skiers and thrill-seekers can cross over toward Alagna and the Punta Indren glacier to access world-renowned freeride routes and heli-skiing drops.
Monterosa Ski, Aosta Valley
A massive three-valley ski domain in northwestern Italy, renowned for its spectacular views of the 4,000m peaks of the Monte Rosa massif and its immense freeride potential.
