Little gem of an Italian resort
Reviewed 22 Dec 2020
This little gem of an Italian resort could not have been more perfect for my family Christmas holiday. Charming, chocolate-box village with narrow, cobbled streets and historic buildings, all nestled under the mighty Mont Blanc. The atmosphere was very festive, and the skiing was great for the various abilities. It’s a quick transfer from Geneva, making it ideal for a short break. There is tonnes of skiing for longer stays as you can easily access nearby resorts in the Aosta or Mont Blanc region. The main selling point of Courmayeur, though, is the food. It’s incredible. Make sure you visit Chiecco and Maison Vielle on the mountain for the best ski lunches you’ll ever have!
We love Courmayeur - it’s expensive but lovely and low key.

Absolutely fabulous week – the weather was just perfect, it was sunny every day. The snow conditions were fine, they had a nice continuity of snow (on the final day we couldn’t see it was so snowy!). We don’t want somewhere for partying so it’s perfect for us.
Fantastic off-piste skiing
Reviewed 6 May 2014
The best thing about Courmayeur is the off piste skiing. They’ve just opened a massive off piste lift system that goes all the way to Helbronner – I haven’t been there to use it yet but it sounds really good. Besides the off-piste, the pistes are mainly reds and blues with a couple of blacks and I’ve always had good snow whether in winter or spring.
There are plenty of bars and a lot offer free food which is unusual in a ski resort... the American Bar and Bar Roma offer what’s probably best described as very similar to tapas, with things like slices of pizza, crisps, sandwiches and pasta. On top of the free food you can get in most places, the cost of things in Italian resorts is considerably cheaper than you get in France – I’d never go back to France after some of the prices I’ve had to pay.
Elegant spot beneath Monte Bianco - a class act

Not only can you experience the thrills and excitement of riding the slopes of Courmayeur, but there is also the chance to ski in Chamonix, where the Ski pass gives you an exciting opportunity to ride the slopes of Mount Blanc. This provides visitors one of the most outstanding thrills the ski world has to offer. Beginners join ski school at Plan Checrouit where there are some easy blue runs Intermediates enjoy the variety of red runs; the leg-burner from Youla to Zerotta has a height difference of 1000 metres. Nearby La Thuile provides even more variety. Advanced skiers will appreciate Courmayeur's huge off-piste potential - from Arp or Youla to either Zarotta, Dolonne or La Balme. Or tackle the famous 24km Vallée Blanche glacier run down to France. Resort - Courmayeur ski resort is at the foot of Mont Blanc, Europe's highest mountain, close to the French border in the Aosta Valley. It is a characteristic Italian village of cobbled streets, stylish shops and excellent cafés and restaurants, all set within an attractive medieval centre. The main skiing area is at Plan Checrouit and, with over 80% of the skiable terrain covered by snow cannons, snow here is virtually guaranteed. Apres ski - It doesn't matter who you are, Courmayeur will satisfy your appetite for fun, relaxation and all your other desires throughout your stay!
