Alagna Valsesia ski resort is 180 kilometers of ski trails of various levels of difficulty: 45 trails are marked in blue, 117 km are red, 16 km are black, and 2 km of orange trails are for snowboard cross. The resort’s 67 ski routes pass through scenic spots with spectacular views of Monte Rosa. 37 lifts raise tourists to a height of 1,212 to 3,275 meters.

Alanya, with its steep descents, is the most interesting and difficult part of the Monterosa Ski complex, and it is especially attractive for fans of heli-skiing – free descent on pristine snow slopes. In addition to skiers with a high and medium level of training, the resort offers skiing entertainment for those who are just learning this type of active recreation, as well as for children. Experienced instructors will teach both adults and children different areas of skiing. There is a snow park specially for snowboarding and freestyle lovers.

The picturesque village of Alagna Valsesia with its stone church and small farm buildings is located in the huge Monterosa ski area. Professional skiers and snowboarders will definitely like the slopes located nearby: exciting tracks with many difficult tasks will not let anyone get bored. This place is not suitable for those who have only recently learned or are still learning to stand up skis. This is also not a place for lovers of nightlife: the lights go out almost immediately after dinner. If you are planning a large-scale rental for tomorrow, then you just need to get a good night’s sleep.

In Alanya, there are only 15 kilometers of slopes, but the village is connected to the nearby resorts of Gressoney and Champoluc , which offer tourists tens of kilometers of excellent tracks. The village itself is located at an altitude of 1,212 meters, but fast funiculars will take you to the top at 3,275 meters, where you can enjoy stunning views.

The town of Arabba is located in the Sella Ronda ski area, but it is from this place that it is best to start mastering the most amazing slopes. Here are not only some of the steepest slopes in the entire Dolomites, but also some of the most beautiful views in Italy.

Where to stay

Agriturismo Alagna is a beautifully restored old farmhouse located close to the main funicular. The owners of the mini-hotel are always happy to welcome guests, offering them comfortable rooms with wooden and stone decoration. One night with breakfast in this place will cost about 80-100 euros for two.

Other options

Alanya-Valsesia, Italy is an excellent resort for lovers of solitude and silence. The city itself is not densely populated, but this is not important. The main treasure here is the ski slopes. This place is recommended for those who prefer off-piste descents. In the evening, you can have a pleasant time in a family restaurant.
