Off-piste in Alagna
Alagna is known among freeriders for long, wild descents from the high glaciers of Monte Rosa, with very little development outside the lifts. The terrain is serious and committing, so local knowledge makes a big difference.
Where your guide takes you
- Punta Indren: at 3,275 m, the highest point you can reach by lift on Monte Rosa and the starting point for most of Alagna's freeride itineraries.
- La Balma: the classic descent from Indren toward the head of the Sesia valley, long and varied, and the usual introduction to Alagna's off-piste.
- Bors valley and Vallone d'Olen: other well-known itineraries from the Indren area, chosen depending on snow and aspect.
- Malfatta and the steep couloirs: famous steep lines for expert skiers only, in stable conditions and with glacier travel.
- Gressoney and Champoluc: the Monterosa lifts link the three valleys, so your guide can move to where the snow is best.
How your guide plans the day
Alagna's itineraries are long, and some cross glaciers, so your guide plans the route from the avalanche bulletin and the weather. A harness is needed on glacier terrain, along with your avalanche kit.
Tour details and pricing

From Punta Indren, at 3,275 m the highest lift-served point of the Monterosa ski area, long freeride itineraries drop toward Alagna and the Gressoney valley. Alagna is linked by lift to Gressoney and Champoluc, which gives your guide plenty of options depending on the conditions. If you have ski touring equipment, it opens up even more terrain.
