Welcome to the "Paradise of Monte Rosa," welcome to Alagna! Alagna is part of the Valsesia Valley, named after the Sesia River, which originates just a few kilometers from here on Mount Gnifetti (4,560m). We are located on the border with Switzerland, in an area rich in mountains that offer unique and unforgettable panoramas.
What makes the Alagna area unique? Without a doubt, Monte Rosa! An imposing mountain, the second highest in all the Alps and the tallest in Switzerland (its neighboring country). Together with the rest of the Pennine Alps, it offers breathtaking landscapes and unforgettable experiences!
The area is vast, featuring slopes of varying difficulty levels to suit all abilities, and offers countless unforgettable adventures such as off-piste skiing, cross-country skiing, ski mountaineering, snowshoeing trails, ice skating, and as the ultimate highlight, heli-skiing! You'll board a helicopter that will take you to the summit, where your off-piste skiing adventure begins, offering breathtaking views that can't be reached with regular lifts.
Beautiful mountains surrounded by equally delightful post-ski relaxation! Come and discover the best places to stay in the Alagna Monterosa Ski area.
