The Monterosa Ski Alp ski mountaineering competition runs at night on the slopes of the Monterosa Ski area, linking the Ayas and Gressoney valleys in an exciting challenge on the snow. Born in 2010, after the first editions, it is proposed again in 2014 with a new look and new important objectives: it becomes a team race, it changes the route and above all it proposes to change the start and arrival place every year, alternating them between Champoluc and Gressoney-La-Trinité. The current record on this route is 2h28 set in 2020.
For the 2024 edition is the 13th one:
- Start and finish of the race in Gressoney La Trinité, Edelboden (start of the Punta Jolanda chairlift)
- Classic technique competition in pairs
- Race with an altitude difference of 2,800 metres and a development of 30 km
The following lifts will be open for free:
