I just got back from an awesome week of skiing and boarding in the Gressoney area. I have a place a bit further down the Gressoney Valley, so I can't comment on the hotels, although the times my friends stayed in places in town they were quite happy. Granted, you only get Italian food here, but well, isn't that what you go to Italy for? The Polenta Concia is great, the cafè Corretto (expect a question along the lines like 'which correction you want, grappa or rum) is great and the local drink Bombardino obviously not to be forgotten. Don't expect an amazing night life, but again, if you want that, go to Anton or Ischl. For off-piste, head over to Alagna, especially in the next week, when there's going to be heavy snow fall again. If you're in for some good food and are willing to drive a little bit: Lo Stambecco in Gressoney St. Jean is great. Also in the main valley (but this is about an hour's drive) in Quincinetto there's Da Marino and even better and closer (but still 50 driving I think) is Ramo Verde in Carema (just a bit south of Pt. St. Martin). If you want more tips, drop me a line at alef.arendsen at google mail. By the way, Champoluc or Alagna might be better on the night life, you don't get to be more central in the Monte Rosa ski resort as in Gressoney though at is in the centre of it. Cheers, Alef

OK so we were lucky - 4 meters of snow on the top at Gressoney-la-Trinite and 1.5 in the village, blue skies, sun, no wind, no crowds - this is paradise. But be warned, early season snow isn't always this good and it is a bit risky at Xmas. The pistes are incredibly quiet - especially in Gressoney and Alagna where it was quite common to find yourself skiing with no one else in sight. The long red runs from top to bottom that link well mean that this is a fantastic place for good intermediates to challenge their skiing. Don't come to this area if you want to party - the local bars are great but are LOCAL bars (no frills but fantastic people watching). Very few English are around - even better.

Can I just say that Justin is absolutely 100% correct. This is an appalling place. There’s quite literally nothing to do except ski. The lift queues are unbelievable. The only views are of mountains. The snow is too deep. The hotels are too cheap. The restaurants serve only Italian food. The bar only has Moretti, red wine and grappa. The deli sells only dried porcini. And the largest hotel has been closed for 40 years. Please, I beg you, take Justin’s advice and go skiing anywhere but here. You really wouldn’t like it. Azzura, Laura, (and Justin?), see you at Scoiattollo on 12 December. Conditions look fantastic and we can’t wait for our third visit to ski heaven. Paul (and the other 10 of us)

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.
