There is a small beginner zone in the Alagna valley at Wold, but this really is a resort for intermediates upwards.
Fans of piste skiing will enjoy the gentle blues at Cimalegna and the long reds down into Gressoney. For more confident intermediates, attempting to get all the way to Champoluc is well worth it, just watch out for the steeper black G6 into Gressoney – in bad snow conditions it may be worth downloading the gondola to get across towards Champoluc.
It is for advanced and expert skiers and boarders that this resort really comes into its own however. The jewel in the crown is Punta Indren, where long off piste runs drop down over 1000m.
Hiring a mountain guide or joining a Ski Club Freshtracks holiday here will ensure you make the most of the terrain, which expands into a vast playground if you have a set of touring skins.
Another bonus here is that the snow often remains untracked for longer – crowds are almost unheard of.
A small hamlet, Alagna sits on the far eastern fringes of the Monterosa ski area, in the next valley over from Gressoney. Comprised of old wooden buildings, a pretty church and quiet streets, it feel distinctly different from the conventional ski resort and instead it oozes traditional Italian charm, with great food and hospitality on offer.

With the temperatures lowering over the weekend, more snow is set to fall over the Italian Alps, with about 20cm to 30cm due over Northern Italy. With a freezing line camping out at 1,500m there is a good chance this reaches lower slopes too, and this will only fall as the new week begins.
Flurries will continue as the new week begins, with the freezing line remaining at the same level helping preserve excellent skiing conditions for slopes above this mark.
