Even outside the winter, Alpe di Mera is a beautiful destination for nature lovers and hikers.
Alagna Valsesia – Skiing in the impressive Monterosa Ski
About a 35-minute drive from Apartment Stella is Alagna Valsesia, an authentic mountain village at the foot of Monte Rosa.
Alagna, together with Gressoney and Champoluc, forms the impressive Monterosa Ski ski area, one of the most beautiful winter sports areas in the Italian Alps.
Here you will find long runs, modern ski lifts, beautiful panoramic views and challenging slopes for experienced skiers and snowboarders.
The area is internationally popular with freeriders because of its spectacular off-piste opportunities. But recreational skiers can also fully enjoy the extensive slopes and impressive mountain world.
Alagna itself is also definitely worth a visit. The village is known for its traditional Walser houses, charming streets, cozy restaurants and authentic mountain atmosphere.
