SKI TOURING ITALY IN THE MONTEROSA SKI!

In the area of Monterosa Ski you can ski in three different valleys, two in Valle d’Aosta and one in Piedmont, with the same ticket and just using the lifts, you can reach the incredible backcountry that Monterosa offers to free-riders.
Lots of people love to go into isolated places booking an helicopter fight to admire the mountains from a different prospective and skiing where just a few can go, but the number of ski tourers is increasing… they reach savage places too, just spending more energies!

Suggestions and proposals

The Zube pass

Starting from Salati pass, you can ski down using the blue piste of Gressoney for 500m. Afterwards you just have to put the skins on, and start the ascent to colle Zube. To learn the know-how that's the best experience that you can have, especially with a local guide. In less than 40 minutes you will reach the top, from where, after some food and a little rest, you will be able to ski down to Alagna. You will pass through ancient villages as Otro and Pianmisura, skiing between Walser's houses, alternatively The Jakette couloir will make you reach the Olen's valley.

The lost valley

You will take the cableway to Indren, cross from there to Roccette, under Mantova Hut. There starts a walk of 30 minutes on the easiest side of the valley. The goal is on the left side of the building at 3530m. To reach the glacier of Valle Perduta, you can ski or ( in case of bad conditions of the snow) be roped down. Here comes an unforgettable slope; first in a glacial background and then in the middle of tiny woods: over 1700 height difference between the top and Staffal (Gressoney).

Val di Verra

Just using pistes and lifts you will reach the Bettaforca, where the journey starts. Here starts the ascent to Quintino Sella Hut and Bettaforca pass at 3100m hight. That will take 1h 15'. At the top you can rest admiring the Monterosa's West side and his glaciers, the most important of which is Verra. After that you can start your downhill ski in a perfect free ride terrain. Being North side of the mountain, you can usually ski in powder snow. You go on towards Frachey where you must stay for lunch. Whenever you like you can go back to Alagna, using cableways and pistes.
