About
Three valleys under the second-highest massif in the Alps, linked by lift into one 180km area on 37 lifts: Champoluc and Antagnod in the Val d'Ayas, Gressoney-Saint-Jean and Gressoney-La-Trinité in the Lys valley, and Alagna Valsesia over the ridge in Piedmont. It runs from 1,212m at Alagna to 3,275m at Punta Indren, which makes it one of the most snow-sure areas in Italy and a serious freeride destination. ⚠️ The Gressoney valley is historically Walser, a German-speaking community, so German is more useful there than its position in Italy suggests.

Common Seasonal Jobs
Languages Required
- Visa Requirements
- EU/EEA citizens can work freely under EU freedom of movement. Non-EU citizens need an Italian seasonal work permit (nulla osta for seasonal work), which requires employer sponsorship and falls under Italy's seasonal quotas (decreto flussi). UK citizens post-Brexit require a work permit.
- Recruitment Timeline
- Hotels recruit from September for a December start. The freeride reputation means guiding and ski-touring operators hire experienced staff separately, often earlier.
Worker Amenities & Living
Staff Housing Available
- Public Transport
- Buses from Aosta into the Val d'Ayas and the Lys valley; Alagna is reached from Varallo on the Piedmont side, which is a different approach entirely. A car is genuinely useful here because the three valleys only connect by lift.

Working a season here
Practical guides for seasonal workers, with every figure counted from the listings open right now.
- Can you do two ski seasons in one year?Northern and southern winters barely overlap. The constraints are visas and the gap between them, not the calendar.
- What should you ask before accepting a ski season job?Most adverts leave out the things that decide whether a season works. Counted from live listings, and what to ask instead.
- Is a ski season worth it, and can you save money?Accommodation decides it more than the hourly rate. How to work out your own number rather than trusting anyone else's.
