Top Active Leisure & Sport Spots in Aosta Valley

If you're into après-ski, I think you should visit the local bars around 4 PM. They get lively but aren't too crowded yet, so you can grab a drink and relax

If you're renting gear, I suggest hitting up the rental shops in town rather than the slopes—they're usually cheaper and have a better selection. I found this out after paying too much at a slope-side shop.

I recommend downloading an app that tracks your runs. It’s a fun way to keep track of your progress, and some apps even offer discounts at certain places nearby.

Check the timetable for the lifts! I missed a couple of openings early in the morning and ended up wasting time in line when I could've been cruising the slopes.

I recommend getting your ski passes online before you go. The lines at the ticket offices can be super long, and you’ll save a bunch of time hitting the slopes instead.

I think taking the cable car to Plateau Rosa is a must for that stunning view. But, watch out for the weather—make sure it’s clear before going up to avoid disappointment!

If you're thinking about renting gear, I suggest checking out the local shops instead of the resort rentals. They often have better prices and friendlier service. My pair of skis was top-notch!

My advice is to try and eat lunch a bit earlier, like around 11:30, to avoid the crowds in the on-mountain restaurants. I waited ages for a table around noon!

Make sure to pack a packed lunch or snacks! The food options on the mountain can be pricy, and honestly, not that great. I regretted buying a burger for too much money!

I suggest buying your lift passes online in advance. It saved me some time in line, and they often have discounts for early purchases. Trust me, it’s worth it especially on weekends!

Don’t skip the views from the top of the lift! Grab a quick photo before skiing down. I missed it because I was too eager to hit the slopes and I wish I had taken the time to enjoy it!

I recommend taking a lesson even if you’re experienced. Their instructors are really helpful and can give you tips specific to the area that helped me a lot. Don't skip this step for sure!

You might want to pack some snacks and drinks. The on-site cafe can get super busy and I found myself waiting ages for just a hot drink. Save time and bring your own!

My advice is to check the weather conditions the day before. I thought I could wing it, but I ended up dealing with super gusty winds that made snowkiting tougher than it needed to be. Just plan ahead!

My advice is to check the weather before you go. I got there on a cloudy day and my flight got canceled. Sunny mornings are best for the best views!

I think arriving around 9:30 am is perfect. You get to enjoy the beautiful morning views and have a higher chance of flying that day!

I recommend taking some snacks and water with you. The café isn’t open all the time, and it'd save you from getting hungry while waiting for your flight
