Italy | Off-piste heaven Alagna

HOLIDAY HIGHLIGHTS
Huge areas of virgin powder > Heli-ski off the Colle de Lys > Ski from Alagna to Zermatt and back in a day
The Monte Rosa massif has some thirty peaks over 12,000 feet high, with Monte Rosa itself the highest at over 15,200 feet. Alagna’s off-piste skiing possibilities are virtually unlimited, yet all but undiscovered. A vertical descent of 6,000 feet from the Punta Indren peak leaves skiers spoilt for choice.
Discover a number of hidden itineraries with a professional guide and enjoy the thrill of heli-skiing on Monte Rosa, home of Europe’s largest single area of off-piste skiing. Access by helicopter allows for skiing on the upper slopes of Monte Rosa and other beautiful areas of the Upper Valsesia National Park.
Ski to Zermatt, then take the cable car up the Klein Matterhorn, returning to Alagna without touching a piste. Explore steep couloirs and huge expanses of deep, untouched powder with a professional guide, kitted out with the most up-to-date avalanche equipment.
This atmospheric mountain village lies just two hours by car from Milan, on the slopes of Monte Rosa. Regular visitors to larger resorts may have forgotten the charm of a traditional Alpine village.
Stay at the brand new Hotel Cristallo, in the heart of Alagna. The Cristallo offers elegant luxury and facilities include a swimming pool, spa and excellent restaurant. Alternatively, take an apartment at the Baita Walser, an apartment-hotel that provides modern accommodation and all the comforts of home.
