Discover the Best Alps Ski Resorts: 3 to 6-Day Customizable Adventure in Aosta Valley

Dreaming of skiing the best Alps ski resorts? Look no further! Everyone knows the iconic Mont Blanc and Matterhorn, but the secret is that they’re more accessible from the Italian side. We’ll base ourselves in the charming town of Aosta, an ancient Roman city just a 2-hour drive from Milan Malpensa Airport. I’ll meet you there to kick off your unforgettable ski vacation.

No matter your arrival or departure time from Malpensa, or if you’re flying into Milan Linate or Bergamo Orio al Serio, we’ll travel in my spacious car (a Fiat Doblò with room for 4 passengers plus all your ski gear and luggage).

Depending on how many days you want to dedicate to exploring the Alps’ diverse ski resorts, we can tailor your ski holiday with a flexible, modular approach.

This is a ski vacation we build together, based on your needs!

The day-by-day suggestions below are a mix-and-match menu for your ski trip, designed to help you discover the best of the Western Alps:

How to Reach the Aosta and Monterosa Ski paradises:

The most convenient way to access this alpine paradise is by flying into Milan Malpensa or Bergamo Orio al Serio airports. Upon arrival, I'll be waiting to whisk you away in a spacious Fiat Doblò, accommodating up to four skiers and ample gear. Your return journey will also depart from the same airport.

Your Arrival Day 

After meeting you at the airport, we’ll head to Aosta (a 2-hour drive) and settle into your preferred hotel. Just let me know your accommodation preferences, and I’ll tailor my offer to match.

Depending on your arrival time, we might even squeeze in a quick visit to Aosta’s historic center.

Later, we’ll have a briefing to discuss weather conditions and plan our visits to the ski resorts listed below:

Matterhorn: Cervinia/Zermatt (1 or 2 days) 

Choosing the best weather day, we’ll leave Aosta early to reach Cervinia, the town on the southern slopes of the Matterhorn, about an hour’s drive away. If you’re a good skier, we can do the cross-border trip from Cervinia to Zermatt in one day. Otherwise, we can split it into two days, including the Gornergrat in Zermatt and Valtournanche below Cervinia. It’s up to you!

Mont Blanc: Courmayeur and Chamonix (1 or 2 days) 

The Mont Blanc ski resorts require at least two days, one for the Italian side in Courmayeur and one for the French side in Chamonix. These two resorts at the foot of Mont Blanc need no introduction – they’re simply unique! We’ll have the chance to see Mont Blanc from the south and then, especially from the Index ski area in Chamonix, from the north… The greatest view of continental Europe’s highest peak.
