Skiing in Courmayeur

Courmayeur Ski Resort

Courmayeur is located on the Italian side of Mont Blanc opposite Chamonix. Courmayeur is a traditional Italian alpine town and overall is priced at a very reasonable rate.

Courmayeur is ideal for beginners and Intermediates

Courmayeur has 100km of its own pistes, which cater mainly to beginner and intermediate boarders and skiers.

There isn't a huge variety of skiing in this relatively small area, with experts the least spoilt for choice. However, Courmayeur does offer access to the other resorts in the Aosta Valley and the Chamonix valley (via the Mont Blanc Tunnel), with a combined total of near 800km of runs to keep just about everyone happy.

Cross-country skiers will also find 51km of excellent trails. It's all blessed with a fine snow record and supported by widespread snowmaking facilities.

Courmayeur Ski Resort

With its proximity to Mont Blanc, the scenery is majestic - the resort itself does its location proud. It's based around a traditional village, with a car-free centre, loads of good shops, restaurants, cafés and bars, where the après-ski is very much Italian in spirit.

Apres Ski in Courmayeur

Eating, both on and off the mountain, is almost more important than the on-snow activities and the high quality of the eateries reflects that. The only complaints are the rather irritating walk from some of the accommodation to the lifts and the slight lack of variety when it comes to non-skiing activities.

Courmayeur can also get swamped by the Milanese at weekends and peak season times. It's a great venue, only occasionally marred by the closure of the tunnel.

Courmayeur really is a great location to ski and board, our team spent a week there in March this year and we really were impressed.
