What’s going on this winter

The most popular season for skiers and winter sports enthusiasts, but also for non-skiers.

There’s something for everyone in Champoluc
Take a grand tour of the pistes across the three valleys of the vast Monterosa Ski Area: Champoluc, Gressoney & Alagna, great for skiers of all levels in breathtaking scenery. Why not lunch in a mountain restaurant and the end of your skiing day, enjoy a little après-ski with entertainment until your well earned dinner.
The off-piste opportunities are immense, especially with a Champoluc Alpine Guide who’ll surely find you the best snow in the area.
Cross-country skiing is also available around Champoluc, with a World Cup circuit located at Brusson.
For non skiers: we organize great trips with snow-shoes and crampons accompanied by nature guides, taking the scenic and historical trails around Champoluc, also occasionally at night time.
Or why not take a day out to the city of Aosta or one of the many medieval castles in the valley such as Fenis or Forte di Bard.

We have just returned from a weeks stay at Hotel Castor. The hotel is very nice with large rooms and excellent bathrooms. Each day Herman, the manager, offered to drive us to the Champoluc lifts, rather than the ~10 minute walk. This was very helpful as we had all of our equipment in the boot room. He also offered advice on where is best to ski for beginners and twice gave us a lift to Antagnon, saving us a 15 min bus journey. Unfortunately we had an injury on the slopes during the week, again the staff were very helpful with advice and gave a lift to the trauma centre. Dinner was always a good standard, with a wide range of choices, although we did eat out one night for a more decadent meal (Brasserie Breithorn - would recommend). Herman has an extensive knowledge of wine, which meant we sampled an array of local wines with dinner. Throughout our stay the staff were extremely helpful/welcoming and there is a nice bar to relax before/after dinner. There is also a huge sweet hotel dog (Laika), often chilling in the lobby. We look forward to staying again!

In March 2019 with my wife and daughter spent a week at the Hotel Castor. Named after one of the 4000 meter peaks up the valley on the Swiss border, this hotel is located a few blocks from the Champoluc ski lifts. Our room was comfortable with a view out the front southerly toward the old church. Bathroom fixtures and facilities were clean and functional. There is a comfortable lounge with bar on site, and an interesting beer bar half a block north. Great wine selection on premises. The daily breakfast was sumptuous with a good choice of pastries, cheeses, cereal and fruit, together with made to order omlets. Dinner was mostly very good although some of the meat dishes (rabbit, venison) were different from typical American fare. Dessert choices were good and featured a sweet wine. Service was friendly and good. The management/co-owner included ex-pat Brit Herman who was an available and helpful presence through out out stay. He is expert in local Aosta Valley wines and offered a wine tasting that was fun and informative. Only a few negatives; some of our group did not enjoy some of the dinner entrys, and the elevator was a bit noisy from our room. We did ride the free bus to the gondola ski lift or to the funicular; too long a walk in ski boots.
