COURMAYEUR AT A GLANCE
Courmayeur is an Alpine resort in northwest Italy, at the foot of Mont Blanc. It’s known for the SkyWay Monte Bianco cable car, offering views of peaks like the Matterhorn and Monte Rosa. The centre of the village is car free with plenty of shops, restaurants and bars and a fabulous après ski scene. The resorts altitude is at 1225m with a 100km of pistes.
A mountain of two halves. Above Plan Chécrouit are sunny slopes that are mostly wide and open, on the back of the hill in Val Veny are shady slopes, almost all in trees. Both flanks of the hill are quite steep, with blues taking roundabout routes to avoid the fall line. Take care on the red Bertolini in icy conditions. The longest run-in resort is 7.4km with a vertical drop of 1400m from Cresta Youla.
WHY WE LOVE COURMAYEUR
Beginners
While this resort is definitely a favourite of intermediate and beginner skiers, there are blue options to avoid the steeper slopes which beginners will enjoy.
Intermediates
The resort is suited best for intermediate skiers. Gabba, Bertolini, Pra Neyron and Arteú are all fast chairs serving worthwhile red pistes. There are the black runs up in Val Veny to tackle, mostly not seriously steep and mostly shady, giving the hope of good snow conditions. Start with our favourite - Rocce Bianche.
Advanced
For experts there is the run Diretta which ends with a real steep pitch. There is a vast amount to do off-piste, including some epic skiing! Why not take a trip up in the helicopter and do some serious off-piste with some untouched snow in the nearby mountains!
