For all those who want to spend a weekend skiing in the Monte Rosa area, Antagnod is definitely a fascinating and wonderful destination that will remain in the heart of those who have been able to spend even a few hours there.

Located at more than 1700 meters above sea level, the city of Antagnod owes its name to the Latin word 'Ante Lignum' before the forest to highlight its position surrounded by green and thick woods. Located in a more than enviable position of the Valla d'Ayas, from here, you can admire breathtaking views with the majestic Monte Rosa and its peaks overlooking undisputed.

This elegant resort has 4 lifts and, over the years, has turned into one of the most popular locations by skiers and family groups. In fact, the offer for children is very comprehensive. Antagnod enjoys a prime location in terms of sun exposure and this favors fabulous days in the snow.

Here, in the summer season you can take advantage of the beautiful paths to practice trekking, since its territory offers enchanting views of the woods of conifers. It should be emphasized that Antagnod is a starting point for trekking lovers and is one of the most chosen places for the practice of this sport. Antagnod is a stop because we usually start from here to reach other places in Val d'Ayas such as Crest and Champoluc. Antagnod is the ideal place for a holiday or weekend full of natural luxury.

When visiting the city of Antagnod, I immediately catch an eye on the typical wooden buildings of the past the so-called Rascard. The Rascards are buildings of ancient origins, when the Walsers, descendants from the Germanic people of the Alamanni, colonized these lands and built huts for promiscuous use, with dwelling, stable and storage. The first rascards were built only with two levels: the ground floor, built of stone, and the first floor, made of larch wood. Recently, many Rascards have been refurbished to become wonderful homes.
