Champoluc

Champoluc sits at 1568 meters elevation in the upper Ayas valley, surrounded by the peaks of the Pennine Alps at the Swiss-Italian border point.

The settlement developed from early Salassi tribe inhabitation until 25 BC, when Romans established control and created important passage routes through the valley.

The village architecture displays Germanic Walser influence from 12th-century migrations, visible in buildings with stone ground floors and wooden upper sections.

The Monterosa Ski infrastructure connects Champoluc with neighboring valleys of Lys and Valsesia, offering winter sports activities from numerous elevated points.

The temperature variation in Champoluc ranges from winter lows of -20°C to summer peaks of 22°C, creating distinct seasonal conditions for mountain activities.
