Valsesia Monterosa: a combination of freeriding and taking it easy
In the Valsesia region, the Monterosa Ski area has become a truly global ski resort that extends along the slopes of Monte Rosa, offering over 180 kilometres of pistes that connect Piedmont and the Aosta Valley. Alagna is popular with snowboarders and off-piste enthusiasts and is known as “Freeriders’ Paradise” due to the breadth of its scenery and the beauty of its unspoilt landscape, immersed in silence or the sounds of nature. Skiing alternatives abound: from ice climbing to telemark skiing, an age-old technique of skiing with a free heel, which originated in the ancient Norwegian county by the same name. Other alternatives are cross-country skiing and snowshoeing for anyone looking for a relaxing and immersive contact with the mountains while listening to the sound of ones snowshoes sinking into the snow. Alpe di Mera – Scopello is an ideal, relaxing and peaceful alternative: an oasis of calm and tranquillity: the perfect option for whoever would like to discover the mountains at a slower pace.
