To the west of the Monte Rosa, Europe's second highest mountain, lies the Gressoney Valley, part of the Monte Rosa ski area of over 150kms of piste covering three valleys. Its Alpine location means Gressoney is one of the most scenic resorts in the Aosta Valley with views of Mont Blanc, the Monte Rosa glacier, the Matterhorn and the Gran Paradiso. This traditional and welcoming village is the land of the "Walsers", people of Germanic origin who settled in the area in the Middle Ages and who still speak the language of their ancestors. The Gressoney valley has several ski areas: Weissmatten, St. Jean, La Trinité and Stafal. Except at peak holiday periods midweek queuing is virtually unknown enabling keen skiers to cover a huge amount of this extensive ski domain with wide, well groomed runs.
