Ski-in/ski-out

Gressoney-La-Trinité 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-Trinité 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.
