Courmayeur is a stylish old village on the Italian side of Mont Blanc; hotels are in town, with a cable car straight from the centre onto the slopes.
Courmayeur sits below the south face of Mont Blanc, a stylish old village turned smart Italian ski town with a cable car straight from the centre to the Plan Chécrouit and Val Vény slopes. Its 100 km of piste are sunnier and softer than Chamonix across the tunnel, and the Skyway Monte Bianco gives one of the most jaw-dropping cable-car rides in the Alps. With the Mont Blanc Unlimited pass linking through to France and Switzerland, this is grand-mountain skiing with serious Italian food and a designer-village evening.
