GRESSONEY, ITALY, OFF-PISTE WEEKS. 8th - 15th January, and 17th - 24th January 2012. Sitting above Aosta on the south flank of Monte Rosa, Gressoney has wonderful off-piste as well as extensive lifts linking Champolouc, Gressoney and Alagna. The hotel is family run and charming, next to the lifts, comfortable rooms and outstanding food.
We can ski as much or as little off-piste as the group wants with options to bale out onto the pistes; and many places to stop for coffee or lunch. If you have a friend, wife, husband or partner who would like to come, but who prefers to stay on piste, they would be very welcome. If others come on the same basis, they will have people to ski with; and the off-piste grop will be able to meet up with them during the day, say for lunch.
First week fully booked.
2 places on second week.
