There are plenty of challenging pistes to be found throughout the area and the fact that the majority of piste are red will keep most expert skiers happy when skiing on piste. However, it is the off piste skiing that really heats things up in the Monterosa. With a low volume of skiers compared to other resorts in Italy, the off piste skiing in the Monterosa does not get tracked too quickly out like it does else where. You can often find fresh tracks days after it has snowed. The fact that Alagna has a managed free ride area is also great news for fans of off piste skiing with safety in mind.
