  I am only glad to hear Justin's comments if it keeps some people away from this jewel of a resort.
  As others say; non-existent night-life.
  We have been four times and have had varying snow conditions but great skiing.
  Very friendly people.
  The skiing to Alagna and Champoluc is as good as Alpine skiing gets.
  Our one wish for improvement is a chair to cross the road and car park at Stafal but maybe the less developed the less of the Justins. We are back in a fortnight.

  Just come back from a 4 day snowboarding break. Stayed in Residence Hotel Valverde. Excellent hotel, adjacent Jolanda lift, ride right back to hotel.
  Snowboarding here is superb, plenty of intermediate & advanced level slopes & easily accesible off-piste, flat sections nowhere near as bad as Trois Vallees.
  Village is very small with no nightlife except for hotel bars, but that isn't what I go for.
  I'm surprised at Justin's comments, especially about the lifts, lots of them had magic carpets to help you on, and the locals were extremely helpful, even though my Italian is limited.
  To sum it up, if you're a decent skier or boarder & want an unspoilt resort, but are not into nightlife, this place is for you!

  Perhaps Justin is used to the likes of St Morritz or Chamonix where queuing and partying is part of the lifestyle choice. For the rest of us, Gressoney is a traditional resort with excellent skiing spread over three resorts and four mountain slopes. Good selection of beginners to difficult slopes as well as loads of friendly off-piste. Have not had to queue more than a couple of minutes even on a busy Sunday. Having been to other parts of Italy, France and Switzerland in the past, I am returning next week for the third year here and cannot fault the peacefulness of the location or the friendliness of the locals, including the ski school, which is as excellent as you'd expect in Italy.

  The whole Monte Rosa area is just horrible. Nasty outdated lifts that have a habit of knocking you of your feet as you dismount, inept snow grooming and a useless piste map, expensive and crappy food served with a snarl, zero night life and unfriendly, vicious locals... just stay away. You will hate skiing here! Go to Suze!

  That's right!!! Gressoney is a wonderfull place! I say so because I come from there... yes I am a Gressoney guy but now I spend a lot of time in UK. I organise ski holidays to Gressoney, Champoluc and Alagna for the Brits (not only). If you want to ski in these beautiful European undiscovered jewels check www.skiwithmax.com and I will be delighted to help you. Ciao for now.

  Shouldn't really talk about this awsome powder mecca, but i've kept quite now for to many years! Other like minded mountain boys and girls need to know about the addrenlin filled tall peaks of the Monta Rosa. Ok, so theres not much night life, but after a day in this mountain range you'll be in bed by 9pm! Experience the superbly relaxed typically Italian 'freeride paradise', making chamonix look like a tea party! I've been skiing back country for the last 20 years, and Gress for me has it all, none of your 'you can't go here, and you 'cant go there', fresh tracks still available after three days! Great value, very experienced friendly local guides with the right attitude (recommended) Completely looney Italian helicopter pilots who don't mind a bit of wind! Plenty of very high quality accomadation at the right price up down the valley. Oh well, i suppose the cat is out of the bag now, but i'll keep quite about the Gressoney couloirs, roll on next winter!

  Keep the secret. Great mountain scenery, long empty runs, efficient lifts, lots of off-piste for all standards. What more could you want? Apres ski is a bit tame--no, it is non existent.
