MONOCLE
About this episode

We’re hitting the slopes of the Dolomites and the small hamlet of Alagna Valsesia at the foot of the Monte Rosa massif. Although Monocle’s Lars Bevanger keeps returning here to ski, what’s equally tempting is the region’s delicious wine and cuisine. Here, he takes us on a tour of the Alpine town.
