[ HIGHLIGHTS ]Every Descent Tells a Different Story.
Ride Features
The most enchanting off-piste adventures await you in Valle d'Aosta, featuring the most exhilarating descents and breathtaking scenery across various ski resorts at your disposal. Lift systems in the Valle d'Aosta ski resorts grant access to starting points at elevations exceeding 2,500 meters and, in some cases, reaching as high as 3,000 meters, offering an abundance of opportunities suitable for skiers of all skill levels.
The variety of descents is equally extensive, transitioning from expansive plateaus and high-altitude couloirs in the upper regions to pristine trails winding through enchanting forests and meandering paths along the lower slopes. These routes eventually lead back to the ski runs and lift facilities, allowing you to embark on new adventures, always in pursuit of the finest powder!
From your first off-piste descents to more challenging routes, both technically and environmentally, you'll have the opportunity to combine descents with short uphill skinning routes, all without the need for lift facilities. Conquer the peaks using your own strength and relish the satisfaction of the descent even more!

Matteo Upinot
My connection with nature dates back to my childhood. Growing up among the peaks of the Alps, I have always considered the mountains not simply a physical place, but a true spiritual home.
From a young age, I developed a passion for exploring alpine peaks and trails, turning the mountains from a simple passion into a way of life. Ever since, every free moment has been devoted to returning to the peaks that I consider my refuge.
The decision to turn my passion into a profession came naturally over the years. Today, as a Mountain Guide, I seek to embrace the mountains in every possible way. I consider myself a lifelong explorer, constantly searching for new routes, breathtaking landscapes, and challenges that push me to my limits. The mountains are my school and my office, and my greatest joy is sharing with others the excitement of reaching summits and overcoming obstacles, while conveying the respect and love I have for these extraordinary places.
