Winter sports in Italy – Two beautiful ski resorts nearby

Do you want to ski in Italy, but prefer not to stay in a busy and massive winter sports resort? Then Valsesia is a fantastic destination!

From Apartment Stella you can reach two beautiful ski areas: the cozy Alpe di Mera and the impressive Monterosa Ski near Alagna Valsesia.

Alpe di Mera, cozy and relaxed skiing only 15 minutes away

Via Scopello you reach Alpe di Mera, a sunny and manageable ski area at an altitude of about 1,500 to 1,700 meters. It is loved by families, beginners and recreational skiers. You will find fine slopes, atmospheric mountain huts and a beautiful view of the Monte Rosa massif.

New for winter 2026/2027: the Scopello–Alpe di Mera gondola lift! The new connection with closed cabins is scheduled for the end of December 2026 and will take visitors up from Scopello in about 8 minutes. 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.

Summer holidays in Valsesia – hiking, nature and adventure

In summer, Valsesia turns into a green mountain paradise with forests, mountain meadows, waterfalls and clear streams. You can hike on quiet paths, make challenging mountain tours, mountain bike or visit picturesque villages. Discover for example Val Vogna, Val Mastallone and the surroundings of Alagna. Rassa, Rima, Fobello, Carcoforo and Campertogno are also wonderful for a trip. Along the way, you will come across cozy mountain huts where you can enjoy Piedmontese cuisine.

The river Sesia – directly on the other side

On the other side of the road at Apartment Stella flows the river Sesia, originating from the Monte Rosa massif. Along the river there are beautiful places to enjoy nature and cool off in suitable places. Valsesia is also known for outdoor activities such as rafting, kayaking and canyoning. Ideal for those who like to alternate relaxation with adventure.

Varallo Sesia – Authentic Italian atmosphere at 5 minutes

Just a 5-minute drive from Apartment Stella is the historic town of Varallo Sesia. Varallo has a beautiful old center with narrow streets, colorful buildings, cozy squares, restaurants, cafes and small shops.

Settle down on a terrace for a delicious Italian cappuccino, enjoy a gelato or discover the local specialties of Piedmont.

One of the most famous sights is the Sacro Monte di Varallo, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

This special complex of historic chapels is located on a hill above the city and offers an impressive history as well as a magnificent view of Varallo and the valley.

Discover Piedmont – Culture, gastronomy and Italian cities

Apartment Stella is not only an ideal destination for nature lovers and winter sports enthusiasts, but also for guests who like to discover Italian culture.

Piedmont is known for its excellent cuisine, local cheeses, fine wines, and traditional dishes.

Discover authentic restaurants, visit local markets and enjoy Italian life, where good food and conviviality are key.

The beautiful cities of Turin and Milan are also about an hour and a half away and are nice destinations for a day trip full of culture, shops and sights.

Autumn in Valsesia – A hidden gem

Valsesia is also particularly beautiful in the autumn. From September onwards, the vast forests slowly change into a brilliant colour palette of golden yellow, orange and deep red.

The fresh mountain air, quiet hiking trails and charming villages make autumn a wonderful season for a relaxing holiday in Piedmont.

After a walk through the colorful forests, there is nothing better than coming home to Apartment Stella, lighting the wood stove and enjoying a cozy evening.
