At the foot of Monte Rosa in Piedmont's Valsesia valley, Alagna Valsesia is one of Italy's most distinctive ski destinations. The village is a traditional Walser settlement - an ancient Alpine community with wooden houses, stone roofs, and a character that feels centuries removed from purpose-built resorts. The skiing, part of the Monterosa Ski area, reaches an extraordinary 3,030m on the flanks of Italy's second-highest mountain.

With 7 lifts serving around 15km of marked pistes across 15 runs, Alagna's on-piste terrain is compact. But the piste statistics tell only part of the story. Alagna is famous as one of Europe's great freeride destinations, with vast off-piste terrain descending from high-altitude glaciers through alpine bowls and forests. The vertical drop from the highest point to the village exceeds 1,750m - one of the greatest in the Alps.

Alagna is a destination for experienced skiers who value authenticity, mountain culture, and serious terrain over manicured resort amenities. The village is small, genuine, and deeply connected to its Walser heritage. The Monterosa Ski connection to Champoluc and Gressoney adds linked skiing across the Italian side of Monte Rosa.
