The location is exceptional: we are at the heart of the Monterosa Ski area, one of the largest in Europe, which connects the valleys of Ayas, Gressoney and Alagna Valsesia through more than 180 km of runs.
Champoluc, the main centre of the valley, is easily reached a short distance downhill. The village offers all essential services: grocery shops, sports equipment hire, restaurants and bars.
