Visitor Reviews of Alagna

This may once have been undiscovered but it is now well and truely discovered. We went for a weekend away and the queues were incredible. It took over an hour to get up the first lift. From there your choices are to ski down and rejoin the queue or join another 45 minute queue to get in the cable car to get into the next valley. The skiing is pretty good with wide, well groomed pistes and some nice off-piste, although you have to be pretty adventurous as there are some big drops. The town is charming and pretty but lacking in night life. This would be the perfect weekend away with cheap flights to Milan and Turin but the local weekend crowds make this impossible. Stay in one of the other valleys, unless you are here midweek.
