The Cogne Resort – Gran Paradiso is located in the Gran Paradiso National Park of the Valle d’Aosta region (Gran Paradiso, regione Valle d’Aosta). There are 8 km of slopes for skiing and snowboarding. 4 lifts transport skiers. The winter sports complex is located between 1534 and 2297 meters above sea level.
The small ski resort of Konye is located on the wooded slopes of Cape Monzøk in the heart of the Gran Paradiso National Park, where goats, chamois and ermines are routinely found. The location of the tracks on the northern slopes ensures that the snow is always of the best quality on all tracks (2 blue/light – 5 red/medium – 1 black/hard). The slopes are served by two chair lifts and a drag. If there is still not enough snow, the programmed snowmaking system allows you to cover almost all slopes with snow.
A modern and fun snow park opens its doors for beginners and children. A belt-type lift will take you up the slope, where you can ride on sleds, colorful “cheesecakes” and play games in the fresh air.

As a rule, the ski season in these parts lasts from early January to mid March.
