Ski Facts
Upon arrival at the top of Sarezza three-seater chairlift, youre asked to choose, left or right? The piste on your right (Sarezza) is of medium difficulty and leads to the two Ostafa slopes. These two runs are definitely easier - but the great slope, the run that leads across the woods from the Plateau of Crest to reach Champoluc (Pistone del Bosco), is of some technical difficulty, not to be recommended for absolute beginners.
For others however Pistone del Bosco is definitely on the must do list as it is one of the most enthralling slopes of our area. The whole distance from Sarezza (2.703m) to Champoluc (1.580 m.) is among the longest descents served by a programmed snow-making system in the Alps. But lets go back to the top of Sarezza. What about choosing the way on your left? Skiing down on the northern side the first slope you will see is Vatourna, a medium difficult piste that could cause you some worry when you first set out. Dont fret though, after the first 150m or so it flattens out into an enjoyable and easy to navigate motor way.
On Vatourna, the snow keeps its excellent quality all year long. Its main characteristic is that it doesnt skirt any ski lift and is located in a pretty, unspoiled point. After this exhilarating 3,300 m. run you are forced to make another decision. Do you take the chairlift on your left and go back to the Champoluc-Crest area, or go right and connect with the Frachey area and the facilities leading to Gressoney:.
