Local downhill rows in the current table

18

• Blue pistes: 4
• Red pistes: 12
• Black pistes: 2

The tourism-board summary lists 17 local slopes; the current operating table has 18 downhill rows, including a Sarezza variant and SW Crest. Snow Park Crest is an area and Colle Bettaforca is a ski-touring ascent, not a green downhill piste. The table gives no individual piste lengths; lift lengths are not used instead. Opening status changes daily.

Crest, Ostafa and the links to Gressoney and Alagna

The local table ranges from blue Campo Scuola Crest and Baby Ciarcerio to red Ostafa and black Del Bosco and Sarezza-Contenery. Choose a route that suits the least experienced skier in the group.

The linked circuit crosses Colle Bettaforca towards Gressoney and Passo dei Salati towards Alagna. Confirm both connections and the last return before leaving Val d’Ayas. A pass covering several valleys does not ensure that the lifts between them are operating.

Learning before touring the three valleys

Use a lesson and the designated learning slopes before tackling the red-dominated local network. A three-valley outing is a separate objective from learning at Crest. Antagnod is a nearby satellite area with its own access and operating calendar, rather than a ski link from Champoluc.

Turin or Milan, then up Val d’Ayas

Compare Turin Caselle (TRN) and Milan Malpensa (MXP). The tourism board gives indicative road transfers of about 1½ hours from Turin and 2 hours from Malpensa, with Geneva around 3 hours; allow extra time for winter traffic.

By road, leave the A5 at Verrès and follow regional road 45 up Val d’Ayas. For public transport, use the Verrès–Ayas–Champoluc–Saint-Jacques bus timetable and verify the connection from your airport or train. Seasonal airport shuttles require checking dates and reservations.

Family lessons and choosing a meeting point

Scuola Sci Champoluc offers private and children’s group lessons. Confirm the group’s level, language, age limits and meeting point. If family members start from different lifts, agree who will collect the children and how everyone returns to the same base.

Champoluc village or Frachey?

Choose a village address near the Champoluc–Crest gondola if you want the same start each morning. Compare Frachey for access through Alpe Ciarcerio. Before booking, check the distance to your chosen lift, evening transport and whether your lesson meets at that base.

Monterosa Ski passes and dynamic prices

Its Monterosa Ski pass covers the three valleys and satellite areas, while Monterosa Freeride Paradise access is excluded unless expressly included in the product. Check the exact coverage before buying.

Winter 2026–27: dates, wind and local conditions

Skilife currently publishes a season of 28 November 2026 to 11 April 2027 for Champoluc. Treat this as a plan subject to snow and operations. Check the live local bulletin and high connections, especially on windy days. Satellite areas can have different dates.

No local long-term snow analysis has been carried out for this guide, so it does not rank the months by snow conditions. Both photographs are summer archive images from August 2015 and do not show current piste conditions.
