About Mercatino dell'Immacolata

During the Immaculate Conception long weekend, the small square by the Champoluc tourist office in Ayas is decked out for the Mercatino dell'Immacolata (Immaculate Conception Market). Agricultural producers from Val d'Ayas, Aosta Valley artisans, and small local businesses offer typical products, handmade gift ideas, and mountain specialities in a Christmas atmosphere at the foot of Monte Rosa. A free, family-friendly event to kick off Christmas with local flavours and creations.

Christmas at the Foot of Monte Rosa

The Mercatino dell'Immacolata (in French Marché de l'Immaculée) is the Christmas event in Champoluc, the main tourist resort in the municipality of Ayas, in Val d'Ayas (Aosta province). It takes place in the charming small square by the tourist office, set up with traditional wooden chalets hosting the exhibitors.

Local Products and Aosta Valley Craftsmanship

The stars of the market are the agricultural producers from Ayas, Aosta Valley craftsmanship, and small local businesses. Among the stalls, you'll find mountain cheeses and cured meats, honey, jams, Christmas sweets, wooden and wool items, and handmade decorations and gift ideas: an opportunity to buy authentic products and support the local economy of the Aosta Valley, far from mass production.

A Festive Atmosphere for the Whole Family

With festive lights, the aroma of mulled wine and sweets, and the charm of the snow-covered landscape of the Monte Rosa valley, the Mercatino dell'Immacolata is an event designed for families and ski holiday tourists. A pleasant way to discover the Christmas traditions of this corner of the Aosta Valley and start the festive season.

Mercatino dell'Immacolata — edition 2026

For 2026, the Mercatino dell'Immacolata is expected to return to the small square by the Champoluc tourist office in Ayas, coinciding with the December Immaculate Conception long weekend. The exact date is yet to be confirmed: in the 2025 edition, the market was held from December 6th to 8th, featuring producers from Val d'Ayas and Aosta Valley craftsmanship.

The 2026 Mercatino dell'Immacolata in Champoluc is anticipated, as usual, for the December Immaculate Conception long weekend. The exact date will be announced by the municipality of Ayas and the Champoluc tourist office. The wooden chalets in the small square will host agricultural producers from Ayas, Aosta Valley artisans, and small local businesses, offering typical products and handmade gift ideas at the foot of Monte Rosa.
