Alagna is a small village set in a dramatically steep valley in the Northern Italian Alps, close to the Swiss border. The Monterosa region boasts the largest off-piste ski area in Europe with
180km of stunning pistes. Only 90 mins from Milan Malpensa international airport, flights are regular and the transfer time is short.
The area has a
rich cultural history with a rare style of architecture
that provides the background to a unique, unspoilt community.
As with much of Italy, Alagna boasts
fantastic, fresh cuisine and spectacular local wines at great prices.
On the après-ski front, Alagna offers a more natural feel. In its bucolic bars, you can meet the owners and become a
part of the community, not just a paying customer.
New lifts have sprung up connecting Alagna to Gressoney and Champoluc in Italy's pursuit of its very own Trois Vallées. This has transformed Alagna from solely an off-piste resort to one with a vast ski area, whilst retaining its small village charm.
