the tiny resort of Champoluc is situated deep in the Ayas valley. In sharp contrast to the aseptic atmosphere found in some places, Champoluc has managed to preserve its traditional character, while at the same time remaining a pleasant place to inhabit. The ski area is very good thanks to various links with the rest of the Mont Rosa ski area. The region also includes some extremely beautiful off-piste ski routes to be discovered with a professional guide. Après-ski activity is more limited, but it is nevertheless possible to enjoy oneself, if only thanks to the conviviality and kindness of the local inhabitants.
