Overview
Like the Aosta town of Gressoney and the Piedmontese Alagna Valsesia - two other venues for summer hikes and winter sports on Mount Rosa - Champoluc owes its origins to the Walser migrations in the 12th and 13th centuries, when the zone was populated by German-speaking peoples from the area of what is now Canton Valais in Switzerland. The growth of this town in recent decades is thanks to tourism, as you will see from the many holiday villas, shops and hotels, but also to the care and attention lavished on the place by the locals
