Prices indicated are calculated based on a limited number of seats available or for a departure in over 2 months from today. Once all prereserved seats are filled, or for reservations with a departure in less than 2 months, we might have to acquire seats for a higher price (depending on availability at the moment the reservation is made), which might result in the application of a supplement that increases the closer we are to the departure date.

Our trip

  • All ski lift passes are included in the price of this trip.

  • Enjoy comfortable mountain accommodations typical of Italy's Aosta Valley.

Located at the foot of Monte Rosa's massive south face, the village of Gressoney is known worldwide for its incredible ski mountaineering. On foot or on skins, you will scale every aspect of the area's snow-choked valleys, followed by amazing descents over a wide variety of terrain - some with almost 2000 meters of vertical drop. From the top of the ski lifts, choose from an almost infinite number of incredible descents.
