We have just been in Antagnod for the last week. We have skied the Monterosa area each day. The pistes are long and well groomed. Great fun for high speed cruising but there are limited options compared with the large French resorts. However, the off-piste is astonishing. It is equal to or better than anything I have seen anywhere in the world. Not much of a surprise really when you look up the valley at the highest continuous area of high alpine terrain in Europe. They even have a cable car that seems to only serve high end off-piste routes. Add to that the possibility of affordable heli-skiing, where we got first tracks after 10 days of the area being untouched due to the weather, and you have a pretty special place. To cap things off the locals are friendly, the food fantastic and the prices better then France, let alone Switzerland. I suggest that if you go and want to best enjoy the off piste ask for Francesca Farnia from Monterosa Mountain Guides.
