Ski Free In Monterosa
Ski Free In Monterosa
Published : 24-Feb-2012 04:40
Italy's Monterosa ski region which lies up in the country's North West corner within the spectacular Aosta Valley is offering free lift passes to all during the first three weeks of Spring, including the Easter fortnight.
What makes the deal particularly good, is that unlike most other 'free lift pass' deals advertised by resorts, you don't need to book your accommodation direct with the provider or through the resort's website, you qualify even if you book a package through a UK tour operator, and as several have Easter deals on offer, there's the potential for double prizes!
The only provisos on the deal are (1) you stay in either the resort of Champoluc or Gressoney (2) you stay a minimum of three nights and (3) your stay is between 25 March and 15 April 2012.
Still relatively undiscovered by many, but adored by those who have, Monterosa is Italy's largest ski region, with more vertical drop and acreage than many central Alpine ski areas.
A 90 minute transfer from Turin airport Champoluc and Gressoney are situated at the base of the mighty Monte Rosa massif and boasts 200km of piste.
Deals currently on offer (at time of writing...), include, from Inghams, seven nights half board accommodation at the three star Hotel Dufour in Gressoney from £526 per person, departing 24 March 2012 or seven nights half board accommodation at the three star Hotel Bellevue in Champoluc from £799 per person, departing 31 March 2012 (www.inghams.co.uk, 0208 780 4447).
Prices include return flights from Gatwick to Turin and resort transfers. Regional flights available for an additional supplement.
Or Echo Travel offers seven night half board packages including private return transfers from Turin airport (based on four sharing) from £575 per person staying at three star Hotel de Champoluc, or from £620 staying at Hotel Ellex in Gressoney (1937 572455, www.echotravel.co.uk).
For independent travellers Turin airport is served twice daily by UK scheduled flights.
