Discover the prices of ski passes in Champorcher
Champorcher offers affordable ski passes and great family deals.
Champorcher is a spot in Valle d'Aosta where skiing isn't too pricey. Especially when you compare it to more touristy, crowded places. For the 2025-2026 season, the lifts open from December 6-8, 2025. They also open on some extra weekends and run until April 6, 2026. Prices are quite reasonable, with options for everyone: day-trippers, families, or groups.
Let's start with day passes. Prices depend on whether you include the Madeleine chairlift. On weekdays (like Monday to Friday during quiet times like January-February or late February-March), an adult pays €27 without Madeleine or €29 with it. On holidays (weekends, Christmas, Carnival, etc.), it goes up to €34 or €36.
For half a day: mornings until 1 PM cost €20-22 for adults on weekdays (with or without Madeleine). Afternoons from noon cost €20-28. For two consecutive days: it's €52-70 for adults, with holiday and weekday variations.
If you're a beginner, there's a dedicated skipass: €22 on weekdays or €27 on holidays. This includes a cable car ride, Snow Park conveyor belt, and baby lift Laris. Or just the cable car and conveyor for €20.
Prices vary with the dynamic system: buy online in advance and save up to 20%. Weekends or high demand cost more. Bad weather or low season lowers prices.
A weekend? It depends, but for two days skipass plus B&B or apartment stay, expect €160-200 per person.
Other costs: equipment rental 25-30€/day, lunch at the lodge 15-20€, lessons 35€/hour. Total for a day, all included: 70-100€ per person.
Now, let's talk about my personal experience. I went at the end of December and faced less than ideal slope conditions. In several spots, the snow was patchy, with stones showing, especially in less traveled areas. Even along the ski lift path, the snow cover was uneven, with some ground and bushes visible.
Artificial snow didn't seem enough to make up for the lack of natural snow. The slopes weren't groomed or maintained recently, making skiing less smooth than expected.
The gondola connecting the parking to the slopes worked fine but felt quite old. During the ride, especially in exposed areas, you could feel drafts. This detail stands out on colder days.The Chardonney-Laris Gondola is the main lift of the area. It's located in Chardonney, the real starting point for Champorcher's slopes.You park practically at the base station and ride directly up to Laris, about 1,930 meters high, where most slopes begin.
Organization upon arrival wasn't smooth: I waited about 20 minutes in line to buy a day pass, likely due to peak time crowds.
Still, I wanted to ski, and since I was in Turin for work, I don't regret it. Last time, I skied in Gressoney. Next time, with my wife, I want to see Courmayeur.
