Check out the Ski Club’s holidays available in this resort
While there is a small beginner zone in the Alagna valley at Wold, this really is a resort more suited for intermediate and advanced skiers.
Fans of piste skiing will enjoy the gentle blues at Cimalegna and the long reds down into Gressoney. For more confident intermediates, attempting to get all the way to Champoluc is well worth it, just watch out for the steeper black G6 into Gressoney – in bad snow conditions it may be worth downloading the gondola to get across towards Champoluc.
It is for advanced and expert skiers and boarders that this resort really comes into its own however. The jewel in the crown is Punta Indren, where long off piste runs drop down over 1000m.
Hiring a mountain guide or joining a Ski Club Freshtracks holiday here will ensure you make the most of the terrain, which expands into a vast playground if you have a set of touring skins.
Another bonus here is that the snow often remains untracked for longer – crowds are almost unheard of!
A small hamlet, Alagna sits on the far eastern fringes of the Monterosa ski area, in the next valley over from Gressoney. Comprised of old wooden buildings, a pretty church and quiet streets, it feel distinctly different from the conventional ski resort and instead it oozes traditional Italian charm, with great food and hospitality on offer.
The Monterosa Ski Area employs dynamic pricing, with the topline rate varying between €38 and €67 per day, depending on time of year, day, and demand. Discounts off this topline day rate are available the further you book in advance, when booking online, and booking consecutive days.
You can use your Ski Club Membership card to load your Monterosa Ski Area lift ticket, either online or at the ticket office, and avoid the €2 fee for purchasing a new RFID card from the resort. More details can be found here.

Good, consistent snowfall will come to most of the Italian Alps in one of the rare seasons where Italy outperforms its Alpine neighbours. At least 30cm can be expected over the course of this weekend and into the new year, beginning on Friday in all areas and strengthening on Saturday. Temperatures remain cold throughout this period with the freezing line staying settled below 1,500m throughout.
A brief pause in the idiocy follows on Sunday and Monday with threats of sunshine in the Dolomites and Piemonte, but snow quickly returns into the new week even as the freezing line spikes close to 2,000m; this does mean snowfall will be more limited to higher ground over this period, but around 15-20cm will fall helping boost already good levels on this side of the Main Alpine Ridge.
Areas close to the Mont Blanc Massif could see a big dump over this period, with 50cm expected over the highest slopes in the middle of the week.
