Ski-in/ski-out

Gressoney-La-Trinitรฉ is a small Walser village beneath the lifts; most hotels are in town, a short walk from the gondola that climbs to the Monterosa Ski domain.

Get to know the resort

Gressoney sits in the middle of the three Monterosa Ski villages, in the wild Lys valley below the Monte Rosa, with the cable cars of Gressoney-La-Trinitรฉ rising to the high cols that link Champoluc and Alagna. The setting is grand and quiet, with traditional Walser architecture and easy access to both the family slopes of the Val d'Ayas and the famous freeride of Alagna. For skiers who want grand-mountain scenery without crowds and with serious off-piste in reach, it is one of the best-value bases in the Italian Alps.

Good to know

  • The terrain is well balanced: 0 green, 30 blue, 48 red and 25 black runs, which suits a mixed group skiing together at different levels.
  • The base sits at 1637 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.
