✍️ Our verdict on Alagna Valsesia

Alagna Valsesia offers 132 km of well-marked runs, a mid-sized ski area that is ideal for a 4 to 5 day stay without ever doing exactly the same thing twice. The 21 lifts are generally sufficient to handle the flow in high season. Alagna Valsesia has managed to preserve the identity of an authentic mountain village, far from the concrete resorts of the 1970s. People come here for the clean air, the unspoiled landscapes and a friendly atmosphere that stands in contrast to the industrialisation of skiing in some large ski areas. As for snow, Alagna Valsesia is in a strong position with its summit at 3,275 m: even in capricious winters, the upper runs hold up well until April. The village at 1,191 m is also well situated to offer comfortable conditions from mid-December onwards. The budget for a stay in Alagna Valsesia is clearly high: 69€ for a day lift pass, plus accommodation and mountain restaurants that are among the most expensive in the Alps. It is the price of excellence, but you should be aware of it before you set off. In short: Alagna Valsesia keeps its promises. A resort in the Northern Alps that will suit most skier profiles without disappointing.
