Light rain reported from Gravellona Toce wx at 208 metres elevation 5 kms NW of Mottarone but it is forecast cold enough for snow at higher elevations in the ski area から Mottarone
It's at the quiet end of the Monterosa ski area. The long red down to the village has been reclassified as a black. It's definitely not a black run. Village is a good, cheap place to access the area, ideal for a long weekend. But apres-ski is limited. There is an excellent restaurant in the square, Dir Und Dan.
You got to this area for the off-piste. The upper black from the top is a good one. There is a freeride off-piste run which starts to the right of the start of the black, but finding it is a bit hit and miss. The chair to the right of the mid station is old, and has a rather unpleasant dismount if you're not ready for it. This bit of the Monterosa ski area really comes alive when there's been a recent dump.
