At the end of a snow-rich winter, going to the Monte Rosa ski area turned out to be a good idea: lots of snow, nice sunny weather, and great Italian food.
The next days we spent discovering the Gressoney and the Champoluc areas, both of which are more interesting than the Alagna side of Monte Rosa simply because they have many more downhill runs. Since it was late March, the sun was already gaining strength, and this resulted in the snow getting quite soft at the end of the day. Especially the last slope, Alagna, suffered greatly and turned out to be the biggest challenge on some days. I even saw people taking their skies on their shoulder and walking down. The fine weather lasted until the last day, when a strong wind prevented us from going back up to the Passo Salati, and we were stuck on the Alagna side, which only offers few runs. On the positive side, some fresh snow made those few slopes very good to ski; moreover, since most people had left already, the slopes were virtually empty.
