Snowboarding in Gressoney
Reviewed 12 Oct 2015
The easy-going, family-friendly slopes here are ideal for anyone looking to make their falling-leaf manoeuvre history, but even if you’ve spent many a winter strapped to a plank, I don't think you'd be underwhelmed. Freeriding’s a local speciality, and there are some corkers the top of the Bedemie-seehorn lift to get stuck into. Head right towards the Alpe Ricka run, pick your way between trees and natural obstacles and hunt for steeps, stunning cliff drops and wide open fields of powder. To really get out in the wild, Heliski Gressoney run a specific snowboard drop-off that avoids flats and traverses, so it’s all shred and no tread ;) Freestylers are also well catered for, with all the staple features at the Gabiet Park, and an area dedicated for beginners to take the pressure off.
Quiet pistes
Reviewed 23 Jun 2014
This was our second time here. It’s not a busy resort, it’s quiet for après ski. There’s not much going on. The pistes weren’t busy, the only time we queued was at the weekend. We like it because we like uncrowded pistes. I’d recommend the resort for advanced skiers and intermediate skiers, there are some quite demanding slopes. It’s not really a place for first time learners.
The best grooming I’ve seen outside of Andorra
Reviewed 13 May 2014
Gressoney St. Jean is a lovely village. We wandered around, did some shopping and had a look in the church which is very nice. There’s clearly a lot of civic pride – they look after the village well. It’s quiet which suited us. Not the place for going out, if you want to go out you need to get the bus down the valley. There are a few bars around, if you look for them you will find them. It’s a brilliant place to go skiing and very cheap considering. The best thing is that you can go to several different resorts like Champoluc and other parts of the Aosta valley – it’s about a 20 minute bus ride to the lifts. Getting the bus is not an issue at all. The piste grooming was excellent, the best grooming I’ve seen outside of Soldeu. The pistes are nice and wide. The area got a little crowded at the weekends, but this was mainly with locals and they all went touring, so actually the pistes were pretty quiet all the time.
