Guided Ski Trip to Alagna, Italy
The tiny mountain village of Alagna Valsesia lies at 1200m on the southern flank of Europe’s second highest peak - the Monte Rosa. It has been one of the last alpine frontiers left and also a best kept secret (also known as valley Y) among true alpine ski bums for the last two decades. Italy’s most modern resort has a gondola system taking clients up to the 3300m high Punta Indren, and a modern funifor lift which takes the skiers up to 3700m. This makes Alagna the base for Italy’s highest lift and by far best out of bounds skiing with 2500m of lift accessed vertical.
The hamlet areas of Alagna and the upper Valsesia were settled in the 14th century by German immigrants migrating from the north known as Walsers. They worked the land in exchange for ownership from the church and became famous for their artisan skills. Alagna today is a testimonial to their craftsmanship.
Today Alagna is one of the most important parts of the huge monterosaski resort area (encompassing 3 valleys). It is the focal point of new development. By conserving the precious history, architecture and traditions of this unique valley - and developing the resort in a way that integrates and not destroy them - Alagna will most certainly develop into a true gem among European resorts.
Past Extremely Canadian clients have been blown away with the terrain in Alagna, and we're looking forward to exploring more of it this year. Care to join us?
