Gressoney Ski Resort Italy
Gressoney is made up of not one, but two charming Italian villages located in the heart of the Aosta Valley’s Monterosa ski resort. In both Gressoney-La-Trinité and Gressoney-Saint-Jean expect warm Italian hospitality, rich cultural tradition and excellent skiing in one of the largest ski areas in Italy. Enjoy access to the whole of the Monterosa Ski area, which champions some of the best Italian off-piste and beautifully scenic heli-skiing opportunities. Naturally, this ski terrain is suited to more experienced skiers. Alternatively, a more intimate ski experience can be found in Gressoney-Saint-Jean, with its own slopes and low woodland skiing.
Surrounded by the towering Dolomites, the scenery around Gressoney is second to none, including impressive views of Mont Blanc, the Gran Paradiso and the Matterhorn. For those who choose to heli-ski on Monte Rosa – Italy’s second highest mountain – the view is even better.
Gressoney is a fantastic option for those after a quieter and more laid-back mountain vibe. With a quiet après-ski scene but a well-established culinary tradition, Gressoney is a fantastic option for those looking for somewhere different that combines some great terrain with a charming ski resort.

The husband and wife duo that run the bar are known for their Italian warmth and unsurpassed hospitality.

Après Ski in Gressoney
Gressoney is one of the quieter mountain villages in the Monterosa Ski area. It does, however, become livelier at the weekends when the Italians escape to the mountains to enjoy the snow. Castore Lounge Bar & Restaurant can offer a lively scene, with dinner, cocktails and wine tasting on offer, it’s the full package right in the heart of the village. The Castore Lounge Bar, with its 32 flavours of chocolate fondue, is a great place to indulge your sweet tooth, and also has music and dancing that starts in the evening and goes on until late.
Non-Skiers
Non-skiers can enjoy the beautiful views of the Monterosa area with access to the top of the mountain via gondola - this means there's plenty of opportunity to meet the skiers in the group for lunch at the top. There is also an ice rink in Gressoney village.
