Hotel Au Charmant Petit Lac is a modern mountain lodge that's just a short stroll from the Route Ramey, Champo luc's main street. It's really convenient for accessing the slopes, with the Crest gondola about 300 metres away, your gateway to the beautiful Monterosa ski area.

EcoHotel

You'll soon see how every single aspect of this hotel has been carefully thought out. Built ecologically using sustainable materials, like locally sourced wood, it only uses renewable energy.

Cosy Elegance

The cosy interior with an open fire gives a warm ambience to come back to after a day out on the mountains. We love heading to the lounge bar area for a bit of après.

The spacious bedrooms stand out with their fresh feel and mountain views. Just imagine the sound of the Evacon River flowing past as you soak up the views from your balcony.

Available on bed and breakfast, you will be well taken care of with plenty of choice from the breakfast buffet. The hotel has it's own gourmet restaurant and bistro so you won't have to go far for dinner either. Dinner is payable locally.

Wellness

You need to make sure you spend some time in the spa, too. The sauna, steam rooms, sensory showers and whirlpools are the perfect antidote to any aches and pains and the pool stays open until 10pm so you can go for an evening dip.

Champoluc

Resort altitude: 1,579 metres
180 km of skiing
11 Blue, 33 Red, 9 Black runs
Transfer time: approx. 1 hour 45 mins from Turin airport by coach

Without a doubt, Champoluc is the most popular resort in the hidden gem that is the Monterosa ski area in Italy. This is a haven for those who are looking to take their skiing and snowboarding off the beaten path in an authentic Italian setting. There’s a good range of shops, bars and patisseries to enjoy as well as the Monterosa spa located at the top end of town next to the woodland park, perfect if you need a day’s rest and fancy a bit of pampering.

Skiing and snowboarding in Champoluc

The ski area continues to surprise even the most competent skiers and boarders every year for many reasons. Not only are the pistes extremely well maintained but majority of the season they feel empty compared to the busy slopes in neighbouring countries.

You have three extensive ski areas which are covered with one lift pass; Champoluc, Gressoney and Alagna which are linked by a modern lift system throughout the valleys.

The majority of the slopes are aimed towards intermediate and advanced skiers but the real star of the show is the mass of off-piste areas. True powder hunters will want to head towards the Punta Indren lift and hit up the un-pisted terrain, just make sure you have the correct equipment as it’s not for the faint hearted.

Prebookable ski guiding

Enjoy a stress-free tour of the local ski area and get your bearings on the first morning of your holiday with a local qualified guide. Get insight into the best runs and places to ski on the mountain as well as some useful pointers along the way to improve technique.

Where to stay in Champoluc

Like all of the villages in the area, Champoluc is filled with rustic charm and is beautiful to explore, especially as you follow the walkway alongside the river which flows all the way through the village.

We have a great range of accommodation on offer here from the Hotel De Champoluc with doorstep skiing to excellent 3-5* hotels.

Bars and restaurants in Champoluc

At the weekend, Champoluc is a popular destination with the Italian locals who travel up from Milan and Turin, and the whole resort comes to life with après culture.

As you come off the mountain the home run is next to the ski hire shop, so you can drop off your skis and join in the fun.
