The Ski Resort
Torgnon is located on the sunny side of the Aosta Valley and offers around 20 kilometers of slopes, a family atmosphere and a wonderful panorama, making it an ideal destination for connoisseurs and families! Thanks to its location at an altitude of 1,500 to 2,250 meters, Torgnon is considered to be particularly snow-sure and offers fantastic panoramas with many hours of sunshine.
Most of the slopes are marked blue or red, making the ski area particularly suitable for beginners and advanced skiers. In total, there are six blue, twelve red and two black pistes. For more athletic skiers, there are also some steeper sections in the upper area.
Beginners will find several wide, sunny practice slopes with easy lifts around the valley station - ideal for their first attempts in the snow. More experienced skiers can let off steam on the well-groomed, red-marked runs between Chantorné and Collet. The wide slopes invite you to enjoy carving and are usually less frequented.
If you still have energy in the late afternoon, you shouldn't miss the night skiing: Every Saturday evening, part of the valley run is open by floodlight - a special highlight under the starry skies of the Valais Alps. Thanks to its quiet location, short distances and clear layout, Torgnon is particularly popular with families with children.
