https://thrillstay.com/journal/ Answers on skiing, planning and travelling in the Aosta Valley. en-GB Sat, 29 Aug 2026 09:00:00 GMT https://thrillstay.com/journal/ski-safari-what-it-actually-is.html https://thrillstay.com/journal/ski-safari-what-it-actually-is.html Sat, 29 Aug 2026 09:00:00 GMT A ski safari is a multi-day trip that changes resort each morning based on snow, wind and visibility, rather than skiing the same area all week. In the Aosta Valley one regional pass covers every resort, so a driver and an instructor are what make it work. It suits confident intermediates upward, and the cost per person falls sharply as the group grows. https://thrillstay.com/journal/which-aosta-valley-ski-resort.html https://thrillstay.com/journal/which-aosta-valley-ski-resort.html Sat, 29 Aug 2026 09:00:00 GMT Choose Breuil-Cervinia for high, snow-sure skiing and the crossing into Zermatt; Courmayeur for shorter, characterful days under Mont Blanc with the best mountain lunches; Monterosa Ski for quiet distance and off-piste; La Thuile for north-facing snow and a link into France; Pila for a family base reached by cable car from Aosta itself. https://thrillstay.com/journal/winter-2026-27-what-we-are-running.html https://thrillstay.com/journal/winter-2026-27-what-we-are-running.html Sat, 29 Aug 2026 09:00:00 GMT Thrill Stay runs four winter products in 2026/27: the Ski Safari, which changes resort each morning on the snow; guided off-piste and ski touring with IFMGA mountain guides; family weeks built around ski school and childcare; and full concierge cover for the stay around all of it. The valley opens from late November and the high resorts run into May.
