Gressoney

Italy

Valle d'Aosta

The quiet gateway into the vast Monterosa Ski network

Is Gressoney right for you?

  • Fully linked into the wider Monterosa Ski network alongside Champoluc and Alagna
  • Genuinely big, varied terrain including excellent off-piste
  • Traditional Walser architecture gives the villages real character
  • Noticeably quieter than the bigger-name Aosta Valley resorts
  • Heads up: The linked network is large, so a slow start or late lifts can mean losing time getting across to the best terrain.
