CREST

Charming village located at the beginning of the lateral valley of the Cuneaz torrent. It overlooks Champoluc and is located at stone's throw from the arrival station of the Champoluc-Crest cableway at the depart of the main lifts of the Monterosaski area.

At an altitude of 1930 m the landscape is enchanting, meadows, woods, streams and a view that is difficult to beat.

Sunny from sunrise to sunset, which seldom happens in the villages located at the bottom. Only in december, when the sun is very low on the horizon, it disappears around noon for about half an hour, behind "Monte della Nonna".

At the same time the village also offers the presence of the pretty Vieux Crest refuge, where you can enjoy dinners just across the street or spend an evening in front of a "grolla" with friends met on the slopes.

When you're tired of skiing, follow the ski trails direct to Baitamati, and prepare for a sauna in the basement to get rid of fatigue. In the morning you can reach Champoluc skiing down to "Pistone". If you feel privileged like me to be already here at the top and don't want to mess with the crowd, just walk to the upper station. That's also a useful warm-up for your muscles before skiing.

There are night rides on the Crest-Champoluc gondola, to get a taste of Champoluc night life if you really want to. If you were so smart to choose Crest and Baita Mati, I bet you won't...

There are many opportunities even within walking distance
