Champoluc - Monterosa Ski Piste Map

The terrain at Champoluc unfolds across three main sectors: Frachey, Crest and St. Jacques. Frachey, the largest, features broad blues and reds that flow into the valley, making it ideal for cruising and practising turns. Crest offers steeper red runs with sweeping panoramas of the Matterhorn and Monte Rosa, while St. Jacques is home to the resort’s most challenging black pistes, cut through exposed rock faces for advanced skiers seeking an adrenaline rush.

Beginners will feel at ease on the gentle nursery slopes beside the village, where surface lifts and a dedicated snow garden introduce them to their first turns. These sheltered areas are complemented by magic carpets and a friendly ski school, ensuring that newcomers can build confidence before venturing higher.

Intermediate skiers can explore the network of red runs that link the valleys, such as the long descent from Pian di Verra circling around Punta Vittoria. These pistes are well groomed and reliably snow‑covered thanks to the mountain’s orientation, making them a favourite for those seeking scenic, uninterrupted skiing.

Advanced and expert skiers will find their challenge on the black slopes of Col Maurin and the steep, technical pitches off the Bettaforca ridge. The off‑piste options here are also noteworthy: broad bowls and couloirs descend into the hinterland, though these should only be attempted with a guide and proper avalanche equipment.

Champoluc’s single small terrain park near the Frachey gondola provides a beginner‑to‑intermediate freestyle area with kickers and rails. For riders craving more, the nearby Alagna sector of Monterosa Ski offers additional parks and freeride zones accessible with the same lift pass.
