Rather than sitting at home wishing it was snowing, you’ll be able to enjoy a week roaming the Monterosa ski area this Christmas. Snowfall in the latter half of December has been good in the past, with the 2009/10 season reaching nearly 200cm of powder during the festive season. Christmas turns this resort into even more of a beautiful and romantic town, and when paired with a big powder day, this is the perfect place to spend the ‘most wonderful time of the year’.
As a traditional resort rich in Italian alpine flavour, Christmas here is the best answer for those looking for an old-school festive celebration. If this year is anything like previous ones, you’ll be able to visit the beautiful Christmas markets in the build up to the big day and relax listening to local musicians. Keep your eyes out for the traditional parade as it makes its way through Brusson village centre. Attend Mass on the Eve of Christmas in the Ufficio del Turismo (just 10minutes walk from the Crest gondola and across the road from Hotel Relais des Glaciers) to see in Christmas day with the locals.
