Gressoney-La-Trinité Carnival

Carnival at the Foot of Monte Rosa

Gressoney-La-Trinité is the last village in the Lys Valley, nestled at an altitude of 1,624 metres right below the Monte Rosa massif, in the province of Aosta. Here, where the Walser German-speaking community still preserves traditions, costumes, and its own dialect, Carnival also has the intimate feel of small mountain villages.

A Celebration for Children

The Gressoney-La-Trinité Carnival is not a large masked parade like the historic ones in the lower valley (Verrès, Pont-Saint-Martin), but a village festival dedicated to children. The heart of the event is Piazza Tache, the space in front of the town hall, where families and children gather in the afternoon to play together.

What to Expect

• Outdoor group games for children of all ages
• Mascots and characters animating the square
• Balloons, colours, and lots of fun on the snow
• An opportunity for families in the Monterosa Ski area to come together in a light-hearted atmosphere

Included in the resort's winter events calendar, the Gressoney-La-Trinité Carnival is the ideal time for those spending a day skiing and wanting to treat their children to an afternoon of celebration, amidst the stone and wood houses of the village.
