Gressoney reviews (Page 2)

Was in Gressoney v.14 this year and spent three ski days there. we stayed at the ristoro seat which lay basically in the middle of the hill. There were very nice slopes in this ski area but no place for a visit for more than 1 week. In those days I was there, there was sunny weather and there was a snowdrop of 5dm a day which was a cruel powder experience. gressoney rekomenderas

Spent Jan & Feb -03 in Gressoney.
slopes:
Works if you are there 1 week and do not have too much demands on slope. More sliding around and carva and sometimes a little steeper than standing on a steady slope in black slopes. Better quality on the slopes seen throughout the day compared to many other places in the Alps. Do not get hot as fast. Little people moon peace, packed over the weekends.
Off-piste:
Very good if there is snow and if it stays. It felt like the snow blew away after each snowfall. Even though you were looking for slopes in all the weather, the snow had disappeared. If you were lucky you got powdered the 1st day after snowfall. Read Polvere Rosa where you will find everything. Host every Euro.
Gressoney La Trinité:
A few bars and restaurants. Much more softa than giving the iron in the evenings. Small grocery stores, pile up from the Aosta Valley.

+ Cheap
- Snowfall

Decide on Gressoney on the way down to the Alps (on the autobahn), then you're 100% sure that the resort got snow.

I was in Gressoney week 4 2006 and it was sick nice pistes and you always had to queue. however, there was no snow at the beginning of the week but just going on the slopes was an experience. However, the last night we slept there, it was quite sick of snow, it rammed down about 50 cm of pure powdered snow. The off-piste possibilities are virtually unlimited, it is a self that sets the limits.
If you're jibber then it's wrong to go wrong.
But if you want to go there, make sure snow is good!

Were there on 9th of September 2004. lived in the village gressoney trinité, small cozy town with some hotels. nothing for party sucked. the slopes were wonderful, very good snow.
was out on the offpist trip twice, last day there was a lot of snow, but foggy. grymm rides for several hours. The second day with the offpist was also grymm, we got quite good loose island. That day we also had to celebrate ourselves in a ravine, really cool it was!
the weather was the best, blue sky every day empty one.
Grams and varied rides. Because you have access to all three valleys. lots of slopes. barely you had to go the same twice.

My tip: GO IT!

Went down week 9 2005 to try out the featured off piste ride. Was a bit disappointing due to the snowfall, but it was varied in the alps this season. Well-kept slopes, no queues, perfect for carving enthusiasts. There were some scratches from Punta Indren. Most blue-red skiing.
Stayed at the top of the valley in Staffel and it was lucky you had a car, because that village died at 5am.
The advantage of living in the middle valley is that you quickly get to Champoluc and Alagna.
There were many nice places for lunch on the slopes and found a few genuinely Italian reisuranger.
Price levels were generally lower than those in most other resorts in the Alps.
The system fits well for average skiers and has the potential for off piste with the right snowfall.

Have been to the Alps for the first time and then I lived in Champoluc, but also went skiing in Gressoney and Alagna.

The backs of the Alps are absolutely wonderful compared to here in Sweden. There are long slopes, narrow slopes and naturally dingy. It is a challenge to get down these slopes.
Here the legs ache after several miles of skiing day after day. It's wonderful simply.

These three valleys are not so badly exploited yet, but they still have their charm and it is not crowded in the slopes. The longest lift queue I was in the meantime was about 3 minutes long.

Absolutely Cannon Place!

Gressoney in the Aosta Valley is definitely worth a visit !! The same lift pass will also take you to Alagna with lots of nice off-piste skiing. I was there in April 04. Then there were scary little people on the slopes !!! do not know if it was a coincidence or not, but the snow and the ride were amazing !!! Me and my four friends were almost alone in the elevator a couple of times. Does not seem to be a party city directly, if you are looking for it .... The ride, on the other hand, is, as I said, definitely worth a visit !!!!

Me and two friends were there in January 2004, which proved to be a great choice! A lot of snow and quite so steady weather, with some exceptions! Should you go to Monterosa you should definitely go to Gressony when you get to all three valleys in one way because it takes a good while to get from Champoluq to Alagna. Everyone wants to have snow! Just Gressony Valley offers a very easy access offpiste. It's very rare to get rid of the skis to hail. The ride here consists mostly of slight forest skiing. Here you can only go skiing and nothing else. There are a few of the resturants and the pubs are very easy to count. The average age in the village is very high !!
 Many Scandinavians are trying to choose this village to season in, we met almost in a 20's almost.
But what does it mean when the ride is as it is ... Go here !!!

Gressoney is definitely a place worth a visit. From Gressoneydalen you go quickly to both Champoluc with its beautiful slopes and Alagna with its high-speed offpiste. I would definitely like to say that there is available forest to go in. For example, the forest at the Punta Jolanda lift is perfect when storms are above the tree line or when the snow is falling down. The forest is really cruel with dripy rocks and just a small larch forest. Highly recommended. As someone has already avoided, you should definitely buy the off-piste book Polvere Rosa, which describes the most common off-road teams in Alagna, Gressoney and Champoluc. Awesome good book. The accommodation can easily be fixed through one of the two agenzios found in Gressoney La Trinitè (Tel. +39 0125 366303 and +39 0125 366259), however, be sure to get accommodation in Stafal where the possibilities for evening activities are equal to zero / zero / Nada. Otherwise, just start planning the skiing holiday in Gressoney :-)

After a long and crooked journey, Gressoney St Jean, a little further up the valley, is located Gressoney la trinite and at the top of Stafal. From St jean it is about 15 minutes drive to Stafal where two lifts take you right up to over 2800m. From the top of the stack you can follow a number of off-piste tours down to Alagna and Gressoney. The slopes are few but pretty red and very well-ventilated. Better pistes are found in Champoluc or at Punta Jolanda, in Grassoney. What's good with Gressoney / Alagna is that there is a great opportunity for a good off-piste, ranging from a little lighter butterboat to red brigade! A riot and you have a full week of trying to get it up because it's almost just YOU who need to wipe in the depths, even a bit outside the piste. Italians are more for piste skiing as well as sunbathing. Liftköerna are non-existent except on certain weekends when travelers from Milan and Turin swarm in the village. What has spoken against Gressoney is just the lack of people, not in the back but in the following locale, you can not find any nightlife ... some resurananger and pubs but nothing more. Go there for skiing and you will be happy! Ps buy the book Powder Rossa if you are going to go offpiste, there are lots of nice rides described Ds
