Located on the Italian side of the Mont Blanc tunnel, chic Courmayeur is an intermediates paradise. Whether you want to tour the Aosta Valley, pop over to legendary Chamonix or feast on the best food in the mountains, this quaint little resort is sure to tickle all your taste buds.
Situated on the North-Western corner of Italy and rubbing shoulders with France and Switzerland, Courmayeur is one of the more popular resorts in the Aosta Valley.
Famously founded as a spa town in the 17th Century for its natural outlets of pure alpine water, it became a top destination for the mountaineering community around the 19th century and has maintained its traditional image and beauty ever since. With a car-free village centre, this stylish, family-friendly resort is perfect for anyone who wants a challenge on the slopes followed by relaxing evenings enjoying good food and vino.
As the weekend skiing choice of the social elite of Milan and Turin, the town has a very fashionable feel alongside its alpine heritage. The historic village oozes charm with cobbled streets, old wood and stone buildings and the central Via Roma housing designer boutiques, cafes and some of the best restaurants in the Alps. The surroundings don’t disappoint either - take in stunning views with 14 mountain peaks over 4000m visible on a clear day, including the graceful giant of Mont Blanc.
Thanks to the village being small and easy to travel around, you have the luxury of never being too far from the slopes here. With regular bus shuttles… + more

Courmayeur is a hub of Italian mountain dining and one of the best resorts in the world for foodies, with classic pizza and pasta dishes on every menu. La Terrazza, just off the pedestrian town centre serves reasonably priced meals including the best pizza you’ll eat. For a bit of mountain dining, we like Alpetta at the top of the first set of cable cars, whether you’re looking for a mountainside lunch, or just a quick drink and sugar boost (it’s worth visiting for their fantastic chocolate cake alone). For something different of an evening, Rifugiuo Maison Vieille usually organises regular torchlit descents and skidoo races – dinner and drinks included.
