Gressoney Saint Jean with Gressoney La Trinité is an internationally renowned Alpine resort with lifts that go up to 3000 meters of the Passo dei Salati, on the border with Piedmont. Stafal is the gateway to the most exciting off-piste and ski mountaineering routes that reach Monte Rosa, up to 4459 meters of Punta Gnifetti and the Regina Margherita hut, the highest refuge in Europe.
The ski lifts, then, serve slopes for alpine skiing which connect with the Champoluc slopes forming the Monterosa Ski ski area, among the most modern and largest in Europe with over 200 km of slopes and ultra-modern facilities.
Also interesting is the cross-country track, which extends for 25 kilometers through woods and magnificent views of the glaciers, which in January hosts the international Nordic skiing race called "Monterosalauf".
Gressoney Saint Jean, located at 1385 meters above sea level, occupies a vast plateau rich in vegetation, in a particularly interesting scenic context for the view offered of imposing mountain massifs and the Lyskamm glacier.

The picturesque lake, just outside the town centre, whose beautiful emerald green waters reflect the majestic surrounding peaks. Immersed in the greenery of the woods, in a panoramic location called "Belvedere", stands the Savoia Castle, built by Queen Margherita in 1894 as a residence for her frequent holidays.
Gressoney-La-Trinité is the last inhabited center, at the head of the valley crossed by the Lys torrent, at 1627 meters above sea level, in a vast flat area dominated by the imposing Lyskamm glacier, enclosed between steep sides, covered by rich vegetation of larches.
Symbol of the most ancient tradition, strongly rooted and attributable to the Walser culture, is the typical costume, especially the female one, strictly red and black, with a white blouse adorned with rich lace, embellished with a rich gold filigree cap. The Walser are a population of Germanic origin who arrived in this area more than eight centuries ago, via the Colle del Teodulo; they settled definitively in the Gressoney Valley after having previously passed through the Valais territory, to which they owe their name. Their culture is still reflected today in their architecture, traditions and spoken language. In Gressoney, the Walser dialect called "Titsch" is typical, with clear Germanic influences.
Gressoney is also a privileged starting point for mountaineering excursions and crossings.
In summer it is possible to reach Brusson, in the Ayas Valley, through the Colle della Ranzola, with a nice walk; numerous excursions are also possible thanks to some ski lifts which also operate in the summer period.
The Alta Via n°1 of the Aosta Valley also starts from Gressoney-La-Trinité, a hiking itinerary that winds at high altitude and connects Gressoney with Courmayeur.
