  Visited end of Feb 2008
  Despite a month without new snow, and it being 20 degrees in the village, the pistes were still in reasonable shape, and very very quiet. Short queue for the gondola in the morning, but only a minute or two, once up there no queues at all.
  The pistes area limited (esp when snow is so sparse!), but there was still plenty to keep us busy for 4 days, and with a day of off-piste guiding we had a great time.
  I will return without doubt, hoping for more snow next time though!

  Just returned. The skiing is fantastic, although it is a big shame the Punta Indren run in Alagna is not working. However, the queues were awful, particularly at weekends. The queue for the gondola was at least 40 minutes, then we had to queue for a further 30 minutues to get the cable car to the very top! Then some chairlifts had queues of 20-30 minutes - all became too much and took away the enjoyment. Feb 2008.

  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.

  This is the "special" one! Relatively unknown but enjoys over 180 kilometres of skiing and three valleys, together with their unique villages, this place is fabulous. It is, however, well-known to hardened skiers and mountaineers for its off-piste challenges and high mountain terrain (4554metres). More recently, with new lifts, the area is now realising its true potential and is being discovered by recreational skiers who are able to enjoy the area's special charms. The people, scenery,food and wine combine to produce a truly wonderful,atmospheric ambience. I would like to thank all at www.ski-monterosa.com for introducing me to this unique village. Go now!

  Great skiing in Italys 3-Valleys, Alagna village brings one back in time -quiet, basic, good food and people, reasonable prices. Everyone is complaining that owners have shutdown the top lift to Punta Indren, thereby closing half of the off-piste terrain. Rumour is they may build a new lift in a couple of years ?! This makes it difficult for local busines. For now stay in the Gressoney or Champoluc valleys to maximize ski opportunities. I'll certainly be back (when Indren peak opens ) !

  Guys, it is an amazing place... snowboarders and skiers are very welcome in here. I organize ski trip in this location... because I am a Gressoney "dude". www.skiwithmax.com check it out and let me know. Last year we had a fantstic time!!! Gressoney and Chapoluc are included in the package. Night in a refuge at 3000 mt (Refuge Guglielmina is like an hotel with a restaurant and the view that you will remain gobsmacked!!!) Great Fun.. check www.skiwithmax.com. Ciao for now!

  One of the best freeride resorts of the world. Incredible terrain for all kind of off-piste skiing. From nice runs to very dangerous steep coloirs and glaciers that require a lot of experience in the high alpine environment. Even after days of good weather you can find unbeaten tracks far beyond the crowds. Very good food (Italy !!!) and very nice people (very open minded). We are always staying there in March for two weeks.

  The skiing is unlimited without the crowds. The wine bar in the town of Alagna is as much a reason to visit as the miles of ski terrain with the option of staying up in a 'Rifugio' or in a hotel in Alagna.
