Gressoney is right in the middle of one of the most modern and vast ski areas in the world, the Monterosa Ski... with its 200 km ski-slopes and the more up-dated ski-lifts, chair-lifts and cable-railways, and it is definitely the Italian land for the off-piste skiing.
In Gressoney there’s plenty of choice of accomodation, and your holiday, long or short, will be characterised by sport, entertainment, culture and the rediscovery of the ancient Walser traditions.
To the west of the Monte Rosa, Europe's second highest mountain, lies the Gressoney Valley, part of the Monte Rosa ski area of over 150kms of piste covering three valleys. Its Alpine location means Gressoney is one of the most scenic resorts in the Aosta Valley with views of Mont Blanc, the Monte Rosa glacier, the Matterhorn and the Gran Paradiso. The Gressoney valley has several ski areas: Weissmatten, St. Jean, La Trinité and Stafal.
