Looking at the maps, it seems that there is one lift out of Trinite into
the ski area. Is that right? Does this become a bottle neck?

Also, it also looks like to get to the rest of the area, involves a few
lifts and some descents to work your way across.

Just wondering if this was ever a problem. One of the other options
available is to stay in Stafal, further up the valley, which appears to
have lifts running both sides and looks more central.


From memory, you are right, but we didn't find it a problem.

Getting the lift near the Dufour you go off to the right (looking up the
valley) and then come down skier's right to another lift which gets you
up to the Alagna link.

ISTR that you can bypass this lift and ski all the way down to that
other junction that you mentioned to cross over to Champoluc, but you
may have to go up again first.

I think you can also get a skibuss from the Dufour direct to the lifts
further up the road.
