About Champoluc

Champoluc is the largest resort in the Monterosa ski region, and probably the largest resort in the Aosta Valley too. Its known for its huge skiable area - around 180kms of piste, and exciting off-piste terrains, and for its breathtaking glacier views. For our Gurus the best places to stay in Champoluc seem to fall into one of two categories, atmospheric chalets with incredible views, and fantastic resorts purpose built for skiers, bikers, hikers and the like. Champoluc offers plenty in between as well, especially within the charming alpine village, where there are traditional resorts, simple chalets and lovely, family-run hotels, and along the mountain road out of town, where there are larger resorts.

Champoluc has lots of opportunities for anyone just starting out on skis, and for skiers looking for off-piste adventure, and helisking opportunities. Champoluc is also a good pick for snowboarders. Our Gurus recommend the best places to stay in Champoluc to families too, partly because of the incredibly varied ski terrain, partly for the spectacular setting, and partly for the pleasant villa, where there are plenty of places to eat out, but it’s not too lively.

In the summer the climbers, mountain bikers and hikers are the ones looking for the best places to stay in Champoluc, still benefitting from the spectacular backdrop, and well located facilities. Some of the the long ski runs translate directly into long mountain biking runs. The Monte Rosa Massif is the centre of activity, and an impressive goal.

The Best Places to stay in Champoluc

For an Active Break

  • The CampZero Active & Luxury Resort is a fantastic pick for anyone who loves getting out and about and exploring the great outdoors! It’s just outside Champoluc, close to the Monterosa ski resort, so perfect for skiers in winter, and hikers/ bikers/ climbers in summer. But CampZero goes further, an indoor rock climbing wall dominates the lobby, and in winter there’s an ice wall, there’s also an impressive gym, and all sorts of spa and treatment facilities to help guests bounce back. There’s also a choice of restaurants: fine dining or brasserie style, and a cool bar.

  • The Hostellerie de Mascognaz is a charming collection of eight individual chalets, converted from barns and other farm buildings, in a spectacular spot just outside Champoluc.

  • If you’re coming to ski, the ski season runs between about mid-December until about mid-April. The rule usually holds that the higher up resorts are the most snow sure, and Champoluc is between 1587 and 2705 metres - but check with the hotel you’re planning to stay in for information about early and late skiing. If you’re visiting Champoluc to hike, or mountain bike, most people plan for the late spring and early summer, to avoid too much snow, while maximising the fresh, alpine beauty.
