Monterosa Skiiing

Ski in Italy's Amazing Mountains

Monterosa is a ski resort named after the Monte Rosa Range, whose 15,000 foot peaks straddle the Swiss and Italian borders. Being somewhat remote it's not exactly like skiing in the rest of Italy. However that fact and the absence of crowds, has turned Monterosa into a cult destination for alpine ski bums.

Monterosa offers high altitude skiing in quiet, unspoiled surroundings with good value ski resorts. There is also a great and stunning vista of the Monterosa glacier that unveils its self right before your eyes.

Val d'Aosta

The Val d'Aosta occupies the northwest corner of Italy and shares borders with Switzerland to the north and France to the west. The region, which is Italy's smallest and least populated, is juxtaposed by containing some of Europe's tallest mountains and a vast national park. It was in this rugged landscape, among the behemoths Monte Rosa, Matterhorn, Monte Gran Paradiso and Monte Bianco (Mont Blanc - Europe's tallest) that modern mountaineering developed. Today the peaks are much more accessible as this region also helped the birth of downhill skiing.
