I recently explored Gressoney, and it was an unforgettable experience! The snow conditions were perfect, and the slopes were well-maintained, making it a great spot for both beginners and experienced skiers. The stunning mountain views added to the charm, and the local hospitality was amazing. For those who love outdoor adventures, staying updated with reliable online resources is essential.

Back to Gressoney Feb 2025 A few new things to be aware of. There's a new chair at the bottom of Black G6, on the right. Take that to avoid the long walk to the gondolas. The fun park boarder cross (Red B9) has been extended and is a lot of fun. Looks like there are new seats on lift 28 (but still a slow lift).

Back to Gressoney for the first time since 2019. Some things never change. Hotel Dufour remains as excellent as ever, but guys, come on? that pool table, please, sort it out! Check out the bar next door for friendly staff and excellent music. Resort remains a hidden gem and in a world of Covid restrictions, its' quiet pistes and lack of queues are even more of an attraction. Some new stuff to talk about. There's a 'fun slope' on the long red down from Champuloc and a basic fun park in Gressoney next to the blue run and a new short black in Alagna. The 2 very slow twin chairs out of Gressoney still need upgrading. No progress on the plans to link to Cervinia and Zermatt via Frachey, but I think that would spoil what Champoluc, Gressoney and Alagna have to offer. If you find yourself in Champuloc, visit Bierreria Brasserie in the town for stunning burgers and an even more stunning selection of beers.

Amazing resort, snow sure days after a storm, plenty of free-ride. No lift lines. Never seen such a quiet place. No moguls, period. Great peak-to-creek rides with awesome tree runs and features everywhere. Long groomers, the dream place.

Just had a week in Gressoney at the Hotel Dufour. Excellent hotel, lovely food. But in dire need of a new pool table! Monterosa ski area remains Europe’s great ski secret. Pistes are quiet, even at weekends and deserted during the week, so off-piste remains untracked for days after a fall. Across the three linked resorts is an attractive cross section of long cruising reds, runs through the trees and plenty of off-piste opportunities, the latter making up for the lack of truly challenging reds. Drawbacks are few, the links are prone to closure during high winds and the 2 very slow twin chairs out of gressoney need upgrading. Plans are apparently to link to Cervinia and Zermatt via Frachey, but I think that would spoil what Champoluc, Gressoney and Alagna have to offer. 5 of my last 6 annual trips have been to this area, after years of skiing all over France and Austria, which says it all really.

Stayed Jan 18 in hotel Dufour, right by chair lift. First trip to Gressoney having been 3 times to Champuloc. Hotel rooms basic but good spa and excellent food. The 2 chair lifts at base of Gressoney are very slow. But area has excellent skiing, great off piste and no crowds. Powder lasts for days as a result. Long red to Alagna can be icy. Lifts and pistes best in Champuloc and new base gondola for 2019 season. As always, links to the top and over to Champuloc vulnerable to high winds. Gressoney really, really quiet. Not a sniff of apres-ski to be found.

Got to be some of the best on-piste skiing I've had in 30 years on the slopes. Don't go if it's nightlife you're looking for but if it's top notch skiing with no lift queing you're after try it out. Stayed at the Valverde with Esprit; a 1st class holiday. Only down side: having to walk between lifts at Stafal at the bottom of the valley. Skiing in France you find all the runs get moguls and carved up by lunchtime; here the pistes stay clean all day due to the sometimes spooky lack of people.

A great place for a week of skiing. Lift lines at the base were never more than 5 minutes and the longest wait at the Alagna tram was about 10-15 minutes. Pistes were groomed every night without fail. Piste terrain was never boring with lots of undulating and twists to the shape of the slope. Some good steeps and run-outs. Not a place for moguls except for narrow chimneys off-piste. Off-piste is extensive as advertised but watch out for snow snakes. Stayed at the Hotel Gressoney, a very pleasant lodge with wonderful dinners; 3 choices for main course and a superlative antipasti buffet and a dessert table to die for. I would gladly return for more of the same. Great people and a lovely set of beautiful villages nestled in nearly hanging wall valleys. Crystal ski was our host and the rep was sometimes hard to track down.

Some of the worst ice climbing I have come across in 30 yrs of climbing, have visited the area several times just to make sure! Terrible place, way too quiet, like 28 days later! and no real shops to speak of, stay in Chamonix for sure. I for one will not be returning again,....at least not until February.

Thanks for the reviews people. So looking forward to the skiing in Gressoney Jan 2013. I only learned to ski 3 years ago in Switzerland, then went to Bansko, and last year Morzine and loving it. Looking forward to my first black run as bottled it in Morzine. Will let you know if the resort and skiing are still as good ahhhh! mean bad.... but sure it will be perfect. Keep reviewing P.S good website Snow-Forecast Cheers.
