About Courmayeur
Courmayeur is an incredibly picturesque, traditional Italian alpine village situated at the foot of the magnificent Mont Blanc (Monte Bianco). Known for its cobbled streets, stylish boutiques, and spectacular culinary scene, it attracts both dedicated skiers and those who simply want to soak up the luxurious La Dolce Vita atmosphere. The resort offers a brilliant mix of perfectly groomed intermediate pistes and world-class off-piste terrain.
The Resort
While the marked piste network is relatively compact at 41km, the off-piste opportunities are vast, highlighted by the famous Skyway Monte Bianco cable car which grants access to exhilarating freeride descents like the Toula Glacier and the Vallée Blanche. The sunny, wide slopes of Plan Checrouit and the beautifully wooded runs descending into Val Veny ensure piste skiers are well catered to.
Ultimately, Courmayeur is the perfect destination for weekenders, foodie skiers, and freeride enthusiasts. The combination of breathtaking high-alpine scenery, fantastic mountain restaurants, and a vibrant, elegant town center makes it one of Italy's most beloved luxury ski destinations.
On the Mountain
Courmayeur's ski area is divided into two main sides: the sunny, open slopes of Plan Checrouit and the north-facing, tree-lined runs of Val Veny. While intermediate skiers will love the rolling red runs, experts flock here for the legendary lift-accessed freeride terrain off Punta Helbronner and Cresta d'Arp.
Aosta Valley / Mont Blanc Region
