Macugnaga
 Situated
at the foot of the immense and spectacular east wall of Mount
Rosa, the second highest mountain in Europe, this resort offers
a unique vacation combining sport and culture.
Enjoy a
wonderful location in a wooded valley at the foot of the Monte
Rosa. Macugnaga is a picturesque village with chalet style houses,
clustered around an attractive market square.
The village
consists of two parts: Pecetto the quieter end, nestled at the
foot of the Belvedere/Burky ski area and Macugnaga centre, also
known as Staffa. The two areas are within 15 minutes walking distance
of each other.
 The history of the
enchanted village of Macagnaga is that which has preserved intact
the colours and the atmosphere of the days when the Walser people
inhabited the area. They were the first families of Germanic origin
to be the sole trustees of the secret beauty of this natural dell,
at the foot of the the Monte Rosa.
The town
is located at 1330m and we start to ski from 1370m up to 3000m.
