Ski Holidays in Courmayeur

Courmayeur’s compact 42km ski area sits on the sunny southern side of Mont Blanc, offering a varied mix of open bowls and tree-lined runs, with plenty of reds that suit confident intermediates. At lunchtime, mountain restaurants serve up classic Italian dishes like wood-fired pizza and creamy polenta, making long, relaxed breaks part of the experience.

Popular with stylish weekend visitors from Milan and Turin, the town has an upmarket yet relaxed feel. The cobbled, car-free centre is reached by cable car and is lined with boutiques, delis and elegant bars, with a small but lively après-ski scene that can carry on into the night.

Off the slopes, you can explore the surrounding mountains on a guided snowshoe walk, or take the rotating Skyway cable car for panoramic 360-degree views of Mont Blanc and the surrounding peaks.
