Courmayeur resort information

There are two main ski areas in Courmayeur, Checrouit and Val Veny which are located on Mont Blanc, Italy and consists of a wide variety of pistes for all levels of skiers and snowboarders and offers spectacular views of Mont Blanc itself.

The main ski area offers elevations between 1,205 and 2,755 metres and a total of 41 kilometres of slopes and snow cannons for guaranteed skiing from December to around mid-April. The main ski area is mostly comprised of 21 kilometres of red pistes, including the twin pistes of Combe Moretta and Lazey. There are 16 kilometres of blue slopes at the top of the Pra Neyron chairlift for something more relaxing, with wider, more gradual slopes. The 4 Kilometres of black pistes offer something a little more challenging for example the Dell’Orso with a more exhilarating terrain and steeper descent.

There is an abundance of alternative activities available, including learning to paraglide at the paragliding school, snowshoeing with trained mountain leaders, ice climbing and dog sledding, just to name a few. When it’s time to take a break from the slopes then there are several mountain restaurants, bars and terraces to choose from as Courmayeur by night is simply amazing, with the best terrace bars at the top of the Bertolini and Gabba chairlifts.
