Private Winter Adventure Week in Italy’s Aosta Valley with IFMGA Guide

We recommend this experience for participants aged 10 and up, as most activities require a minimum level of physical condition and comfort in cold, mountainous environments. Families with younger children can contact us for a custom version of the trip.

That’s the benefit of this trip: flexibility. Enrico will adapt the program daily based on conditions, safety, and your preferences. If skiing isn’t ideal, snowshoeing, ice climbing, or cultural visits can be prioritized.

Not at all. The program is tailored to your group’s fitness level and experience. Whether you're new to winter sports or an experienced skier, Enrico will adapt the pace and activity accordingly.

We’ll send you a complete packing list ahead of your trip. Rental equipment (skis, boots, avalanche gear, snowshoes, etc.) is available in the valley, and Enrico can assist with that on arrival day.

Yes. Maison de la Montagne is located in Arvier, a charming and quiet village with restaurants, cafés, and basic services nearby. Aosta town is just a short drive away.

Here are some of the restaurants we suggest you in the village: LE VIGNERON (https://le-vigneron-arvier.eatbu.com/), LE CLOU (https://www.hotelleclou.com/it/pagina/ristorante), OSTERIA DEL VIANDANTE (https://www.osteriadelviandante.it/) and ANTIROUILLE (https://antirouille.it/).

Arvier is located in the Aosta Valley, just 15 minutes from the city of Aosta & 25 min from Courmayeur, and about 1 hour and 30 minutes from Chamonix or Turin.

• By car: You can drive directly to the B&B, which has a free parking available. This is the most flexible option during winter.

• By train: Trains connect Milan or Turin to Aosta, with a short taxi ride from Aosta to Arvier.

• By air: The nearest airports are Turin (1.5h), Milan Malpensa (2h), and Geneva (2.5h). From there, rent a car or take a combination of train and taxi.

While transportation is not included in the base price, we can help you organize transfers from Geneva, Turin, or Milan airports, or guide you on how to reach Arvier by public transport.

Each day, you'll head out to a different area of the Aosta Valley for your chosen activity. These spots can vary from 15 minutes to over an hour away, depending on conditions and preferences.

You have three options:

• Use your own car: The most flexible and cost-effective option. Most locations are accessible with a standard car. Snow tires or chains may be required depending on conditions.

• Rent a car: We recommend renting a car at your arrival airport or in Aosta if you're coming by train and specifically ask for snow tires or chains.

• Private transfers: Enrico can arrange daily transfers with a trusted local transport company. This option can be added at extra cost and is ideal if you prefer not to drive.

Enrico will coordinate daily logistics and meeting points with you, ensuring everything runs smoothly.

Your safety is the top priority. If conditions present objective dangers, Enrico will suggest alternative routes or propose a different activity that’s better suited to the weather and terrain that day.

Yes, if conditions and availability allow it. This is a great way to immerse yourself deeper in the alpine atmosphere. It’s optional and can be decided during the week with your guide.
