Courmayeur, Italy
Sitting on the Italian side of Mont Blanc (Europe’s highest mountain)
and surrounded by 14 other peaks above the 4,000-metre mark, the
legendary Courmayeur resort is set in the internationally famous Aosta
Valley and features some fantastic ski runs, including a 20-kilometre
run descending into Chamonix across the border.
Courmayeur is a world famous ski and climbing resort set among some of
the largest mountains in Europe, with a natural ambience and an
atmosphere rich in tradition. The village has an air of charm as its
ancient buildings sit huddled together along cobbled streets. The
car-free centre and range of eateries gives this typically Alpine
village an Italian twist, setting it apart from Chamonix, its nearest
neighbour.
Courmayeur offers skiing for all abilities, with a focus on
intermediate level skiers. They get 45 per cent of runs, while
beginners get 20 per cent and the advanced enjoy 35 per cent of runs.
There are 100kms of runs, including the famous World Cup downhill run
as well as the International run, which is six kilometres long and
drops 1,000 metres.
Thirty lifts service the area, which has a top elevation of 2,755m and
a vertical drop of 1,531m. The most famous run is the 20-kilometre
descent which ends in the resort of Chamonix, across the border. For
the more adventurous, heli-skiing is also on offer at the resort.
For something a little more French, ski down into Chamonix and
experience the world famous Savoie resort, the oldest in France, or
simply catch one of the six cable cars linked to the village. There are
a further 76 ski runs at this resort which can be accessed by the Mont
Blanc tunnel running between the two resorts. Enjoy a ‘gigantic beer’
here before returning to Courmayeur.
The ski season runs from December to April, with fine quality snowfall
all season. Geneva International Airport is the nearest to the resort
(108kms) and there are airport transfers available for the two-hour
journey to Courmayeur.
