Valle d’Aosta
VALLE D’AOSTA HAS FIVE TO RIDE
Italy’s smallest region goes big on alpine gems, with towering peaks, serious vertical, and cross-border culture. At its heart is Courmayeur Mont Blanc, where high-alpine thrills meet Italian style. Ski beneath Europe’s tallest mountains, carve the run named for Italy’s most decorated female skier, Federica Brignone, explore some of the world’s most iconic freeride terrain via Arp cable car and Skyway Monte Bianco, and then unwind in the village’s chic cafés and boutiques. This is culture and elevation, combined.

Framed by the legendary Matterhorn – or more precisely, its majestic Italian side, the Cervino – this is where you can ski 365 days a year. Linked to Zermatt for a seamless cross-border adventure, it boasts one of Europe’s longest runs – the 20 km Reine Blanche – and over 1,400 meters of vertical from glacier to village.
Straddling the border with France, Espace San Bernardo connects La Thuile and La Rosière for 100+ miles of seamless skiing. Home to the steepest groomed run in Italy, the Franco Berthod slope celebrates greatness. It’s a hub for World Cup racers and powder chasers alike.
A hidden gem among freeriders, Monterosa Ski sprawls across three valleys beneath Monte Rosa. Long descents, big vert, and a backcountry vibe define the terrain, including the iconic drop from Passo dei Salati to Staffal. Expect fewer crowds, more snow, and a deeper alpine experience.
Just above the city of Aosta, Pila delivers tree-lined trails, open bowls, and postcard views across the valley. The Du Bois run stands out for its natural flow through pine and larch forests – it’s a local favorite for a reason.
