Ideally located next to the main Crest gondola and offering doorstep skiing, the Hotel de Champoluc is one of the top-rated hotels based on guest feedback. This winter, guests can also enjoy a brand-new wellness area, perfect for relaxing after a day on the slopes. And just wait until you hear about the food!

Doorstep skiing

Hotel de Champoluc offers ultimate convenience for getting on the slopes easily. The Crest gondola is just outside and at the end of the day, a piste will bring you back to the hotel. It is classified as a black run, but its lovely long and cruisy stretches can happily be skied by skiers with a few weeks experience. There are easier runs leading to the mid-station so beginner skiers can then take the gondola down the last stretch.

Our Inghams Rep will take care of all your skiing needs, sharing the best runs, après and more to ensure you have a fabulous time.

Exceptional Italian food 

Chef Michelle has been at the hotel for 3 years, crafting fresh, daily menus with a variety of dishes throughout the week. Your morning starts with a large breakfast, offering both hot and cold options, accompanied by freshly made barista coffee. After a day on the slopes, you'll return to a spread of sweet and savoury treats, along with soup, tea, and coffee. Drinks from the bar are payable locally.

Staff night off is once a week, on this day you can explore the local restaurants Champoluc has to offer for dinner. Breakfast on this day will be a continental breakfast. 

Dinner is the highlight, featuring a selection of antipasti, salads, a freshly prepared pasta dish, a locally sourced meat option, a vegetarian dish, dessert and a cheeseboard. You’ll start the evening with a glass of prosecco and enjoy local wine throughout your meal, with wine upgrades available for an additional cost.

Free ski away day to Cervinia or Pila

Once a week, we arrange transport to either Cervinia or Pila for a ski away day. With your pre-booked lift pass, you have access to ski two days in another Aosta Valley resort so there is nothing extra to pay for this day. Just give your name to the rep so we know you want to join us. It will usually run midweek and timings will be given in resort but the coach will leave in the morning and return late afternoon. Days may change from week to week as any trip will be weather dependent.

Want to see even more of the Aosta Valley? We have arranged a stress-free tour of the local ski area with a local qualified guide for approx. £20 per person. Get your bearings on the first morning of your holiday and receive insight into the best runs as well as some useful pointers along the way to improve technique.

New hotel wellness area

This is the perfect spot to chill out with a sauna, steam room, sensory shower, relaxation room and infrared chairs. There is nowhere better for you to rest your ski legs. The spa is free of charge, you just need to book your time slots with reception.

Champoluc

Champoluc is undoubtedly a hidden gem within Italy's Monterosa ski area, offering an authentic Italian experience for those seeking off-the-beaten-path skiing and snowboarding. The town features a good selection of shops, bars, and patisseries, along with the Monterosa Spa, located at the top end of town near the woodland park—perfect for a relaxing day of pampering.

Skiing and snowboarding in Champoluc

Champoluc's ski area continues to surprise even the most experienced skiers and snowboarders each year. Not only are the pistes impeccably maintained, but they often feel empty compared to the crowded slopes of neighbouring countries. This means minimal queuing, and on weekdays, you can ski freely without navigating through large crowds.

The Monterosa ski area links three main villages—Champoluc, Gressoney, and Alagna—via a modern lift system spanning the valleys. Most people start from the Crest lift in Champoluc, but taking the free ski bus to Frachey (just a 5-minute ride) allows you to bypass four lifts and get on your way to Gressoney and its excellent intermediate skiing. Alternatively, a 10-minute bus ride in the opposite direction brings you to Antagnod, a small area perfect for families or for building confidence on its quiet blue and red runs.

Back in the Monterosa ski area, most slopes cater to intermediate and advanced skiers, but the real highlight is the extensive off-piste terrain. For powder enthusiasts, the Punta Indren lift gives access to un-groomed terrain—ideal for experts, but be sure you’re properly equipped, as this is not for the faint-hearted.

Top Tip: Some black runs in the Monterosa area, including the home run back into Champoluc, were previously classified as red. Only a small section is deemed a black run, and unless it's icy, it's a beautiful, quiet descent—especially early in the morning when most people head towards Gressoney.

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.

Free ski away day

Sign up to our free ski away day, available to all our guests staying in Champoluc who have pre-booked a lift pass. Our in-resort team will take you to another Aosta Valley resort such as Cervinia, where you can spend the day exploring before jumping on the Inghams coach back to Champoluc. 

Where to stay in Champoluc

Like the other villages in the area, Champoluc exudes rustic charm and is a delight to explore, especially if you follow the scenic walkway alongside the river that runs through the village.

We offer a great range of accommodation options, from 3 to 5 star hotels. One of the highest-rated by guests is the Hotel de Champoluc, featuring doorstep skiing, spacious bedrooms (many recently renovated), a kids' playroom, a small spa area, and local cuisine prepared in-house. With breakfast, afternoon tea, and dinner included, it offers excellent value for money.

Bars and restaurants in Champoluc

Champoluc comes alive on weekends as locals from Milan and Turin flock to the area, creating a lively après-ski scene.

On the mountain, you’ll find a variety of restaurants and bars, all offering affordable prices compared to other European ski resorts. As you ski down into Champoluc, the home run conveniently ends near the ski hire shop, making it easy to drop off your gear and join in the après fun.

Meals

We know food is an essential part of any holiday, and even more so when you're skiing all day. Hotel de Champoluc won't disappoint—and don’t just take our word for it, check out the glowing online reviews. Best of all, the hotel’s chef, Michelle, has been working with owner Max for three years, and together they are an unstoppable team.

Each day begins with an impressive breakfast spread. Choose from a selection of juices and teas, or ask the staff for a freshly brewed coffee from the barista. Help yourself to a wide range of cereals, pancakes, waffles, freshly baked croissants, mini muffins, biscuits, yoghurts, honey, jams, Nutella, and a variety of gluten-free options. There are also hot items available daily, including eggs, bacon, and sausages.

When you return from the slopes in the afternoon, you'll be greeted with a selection of complimentary sweet and savory treats, soup, tea, and coffee in the lounge area. Chef Michelle prepares homemade treats that change daily, but we won’t spoil the surprise—you’ll have to find out for yourself! And if you're in the mood for a refreshing drink, the bar will be open.

Dinner is the highlight of the day, and we’re confident you’ll agree. Start with a delicious array of antipasti and salads from the buffet, followed by freshly made pasta dishes such as filled ravioli, spaghetti carbonara, and lasagna, cooked right on the hot plate. Each evening, there’s a choice of a meat or vegetarian main course—yes, that’s after your pasta course! Expect dishes like beef Wellington, venison ragout, and locally sourced escalope.

If you still have room, there's a sweet dessert to enjoy, along with a cheeseboard or fresh fruit. And if the little ones aren’t keen on the dessert, the team can often provide ice cream upon request.

You’ll also enjoy a pre-dinner glass of prosecco, plus a choice of local red, white, or rosé wine with your meal, followed by tea and coffee. If you fancy splashing out on something a little more special, there is an impressive wine list to choose from. 

After dinner you can speak to the bar staff and pay for a little tipple, as the Italians do. Italian local Genepy, various flavours of locally made Grappa, Vecchia Romagna – Italian brandy, Fernet Branca & Amaretto are all ready and waiting. 

Staff night off is once a week when there is no afternoon tea or dinner, so on this day you can explore the local restaurants in Champoluc. Breakfast on this day will be a continental breakfast.

On Christmas Day and New Year's Eve, a special celebration menu is prepared.
