Skier & Snowboarder-Submitted Reviews for Champoluc - Monterosa Ski
Total (3.7)
A ski resort's overall star rating displayed here is not calculated based on a simple average but takes several factors, including the age of a review, into account.
Monterosa ski resort offers great runs for experienced skiers. It's not suitable for beginners as options to practice on easy runs is simply not there. Schools offer mainly one to one lessons rather than group options. Other than that, snow was good, no queues to gondolas/ ski lifts and food was decent.

As always...a beautiful place, potentially even better than other renowned resorts...but unfortunately poorly managed and with little desire to improve or learn from those who do better...
I often find myself saying that if Liguria were run by the people of Romagna, it would be fantastic...in the same way, I'm tempted to say that if the slopes of the Aosta Valley were run by the people of South Tyrol, they would be spectacular!
I love Champoluc and Monterosa Ski... I've been coming here since I was born... now I'm almost 50... I've seen all the improvements, but they're not proportionate to the current cost... I say this because paying 65/70 euros for a ski pass is only tolerable if there were no lines at the lifts... instead, systematically (in high season or on weekends), starting from Champoluc, you'll find a huge line at Mandria, a mandatory stop to go (or return) to Gressoney and Alagna... You can only get by if you get there very early... then the Belvedere... 2-seater chairlift... in 2025... slow and old like few others (I swear... it's the same lift as when I was little... I recognize the seats now)... and above all, returning towards Crest/Champoluc, a huge line forms that can last up to an hour if you take it after 3 pm... so basically, the day is over if you're late returning...
Similarly... Mandria has beautiful slopes, one of which I think they even used for a World Cup slaloms years ago... but completely empty because no one dares to do them to avoid ending up in a queue of at least half an hour despite a 6-seater or maybe even 8-seater chairlift... but still not enough... you need to double it! Finally, the Punta Jolanda area is beautiful, but here too... chairlifts from 1980 on at least two facilities... one of which is very long (if there's a cold wind, you risk freezing by the time you reach the top)... but the place is worth it anyway! The Mandria slopes, the Olen towards Alagna, the Gabiet, etc. are beautiful slopes that are worth it in any case! Many sections are even more challenging than many other places where they've transformed beautiful, impervious slopes... into 8-lane highways... that's what I haven't yet, and I consider it a small plus... Anyway, those who despise buy, and in fact I return every year, in fact I hope this is constructive criticism. You could become even better than Alto Adige... without the equally serious problems of lack of snow. Force!

They also introduced paid parking in addition to the ski pass which is very expensive. Goodbye, some Aosta Valley residents will ski for 8n more who get a 50% discount.

The worst three days in an alpine village i have ever spent.

A magical place, an unforgettable place!

A beautiful ski resort that's constantly evolving. I highly recommend it.

The Champoluc ski area offers remarkable views, and the vast expanse of slopes stretching all the way to Gressoney and Alagna is a plus. However, the cost of the slopes seems excessive compared to the actual quality. The slopes often have snowdrifts on the walls and are not properly groomed. Unfortunately, the ski staff seems poorly informed about the daily ski reports; I called in the morning to confirm the slopes were groomed, and the response was inaccurate, as they are not groomed every evening as stated.

Poorly groomed slopes, old and slow lifts that cause long queues lasting half an hour (herds, chatter), ridiculously expensive ski passes (€65 if you buy it online and have a ski pass card, otherwise it's €70). I've been skiing in Champoluc for thirty years, and every year it gets worse. Tourists are seen solely as chickens to be plucked. That's why we started visiting the Dolomites: man, it's a different world! And when you do things right, you even spend less!

De grands espaces équipés Juste comme il faut l’impression d’être seul en montagne, des pistes fantastiques très bien préparé. Un personnel remontées très sympas, des petits restos d’altitude qui ressemble à des refuges ayant des tarifs de restauration abordables et des produits locaux. Le village est typique, et agréable. De nombreuses activités d après ski.
