This
is one of the most panoramic spots of
Monterosa Ski, here, the great and stunning
vista of the Monterosa glacier unveils
before your eyes. Only then will you get a
general idea of the surprising extent of our
skiable area.
Upon
arrival at the top of Sarezza three-seater
chairlift, you're asked to choose, left or
right? The piste on your right (Sarezza) is
of medium difficulty and leads to the two
Ostafa slopes.
 These
two runs are definitely easier - but the
great slope, the run that leads across the
woods from the Plateau of Crest to reach
Champoluc (Pistone del Bosco), is of some
technical difficulty. Not to be recommended
for absolute beginners.
For
others however Pistone del Bosco is
definitely on the "must do list"
as it is one of the most enthralling slopes
of our area. The whole distance from Sarezza
(2.703m) to Champoluc (1.580 m.) is among
the longest descents served by a programmed
snow-making system in the Alps.
But
let's go back to the top of Sarezza. What
about choosing the way on your left?
Skiing
down on the northern side the first slope
you will see is "Vatourna", a
medium difficult piste that could cause you
some worry when you first set out. Don't
fret though.
After
the first 150m or so it flattens out into an
enjoyable and easy to navigate motor way. On
Vatourna, the snow keeps its excellent
quality all year long. Its main
characteristic is that it doesn't skirt any
ski lift and is located in a pretty,
unspoiled point.
After
this exhilarating 4,200m run you are forced
to make another decision.
Do
you take the chairlift on your left and go
back to the Champoluc-Crest area, or go
right and connect with the Frachey area and
the facilities leading to Gressoney: For
