Ski-in/ski-out

Champoluc is a friendly Val d'Ayas village; a gondola from the centre climbs to the Monterosa Ski circuit, with most hotels a short walk away.

Get to know the resort

Champoluc is the gentlest of the three Monterosa Ski villages, a relaxed Val d'Ayas resort linked over the high passes to Gressoney and Alagna for 180 km of mostly intermediate piste under the Monte Rosa massif. The terrain is wide, sunny and family-friendly, with great off-piste options reached by a short bus to Alagna for stronger skiers. With a real village feel, modern lifts and far fewer crowds than the famous Alps resorts, it is one of the smartest secrets in Italian skiing.

Good to know

  • The terrain is well balanced: 0 green, 35 blue, 50 red and 25 black runs, which suits a mixed group skiing together at different levels.
  • The base sits at 1568 m and the top reaches 3275 m, a profile that holds snow well across a normal winter (score 86/100).
  • At 180 km of piste on 38 lifts, it is a substantial mountain that earns a multi-day stay.
  • The lifts typically turn for about 19 weeks a season, planning around late January to late February tends to land the most reliable cover.
