San Domenico & Alagna
6 days all-inclusive backcountry style
San Domenico is located in the far north of Piedmont, in a valley of the Lepontine Alps which is wedged in the south of Switzerland. The territory is characterized by an evocative succession of ridges, woods and alpine lakes. Alpine village of the Municipality of Varzo, San Domenico is located at an altitude of 1,420 m on a plateau between the mountain slopes that border the Val Cairasca, the side valley of Val Divedro in Val d’Ossola. The position is particularly suitable to receive heavy snowfall, whether the perturbations come from the North or the South, guaranteeing good snow all year round. Alagna is a small mountain village in Valsesia at the foot of the Monte Rosa, in the Italian Alps. The relaxed atmosphere of this genuine Alpine environment is the perfect place to ski big off-piste runs away from the crowds.

About The Ski Resorts:
San Domenico is a small ski resort with only 7 lifts and about 35 km of pistes, very close to the border of Switzerland and right in the center of the main chain of the Alps of the high Piemonte. It is a very lucky place with the snow because can get snow equal if the weather is coming from the North or the South, giving the possibility to have good conditions all the season.
Alagna is also a small resort but liked to the main ski resort of MonteRosa that join three valleys: Champoluc. Gressoney and the Valley of Alagna. The Whole resort is cover with artificial snow and has 27 lifts and over 200 km of well groomed pistes. The off piste terrain is unique and is ideal for beginners of this discipline, like for the more esigent skiers.
