Courmayeur Ski Resort
The Italian ski resort of Courmayeur is at the foot of the 4,808-metre-high Mont Blanc, which is the highest mountain in the Alps. Courmayeur is a charming medieval resort that extends a warm Italian welcome. Courmayeur can be reached in just 90 minutes from Geneva airport, making the ski resort a very attractive weekend ski destination. The Mont Blanc tunnel also makes day trips from here to Chamonix very feasible. The centre of Courmayeur, which was originally a medieval market town, is a cosy collection of narrow streets, some of which are for pedestrians only. Courmayeur comes alive in the evenings as glamorous Italians walk between boutique shops, vibrant bars and restaurants.
The skiing in Courmayeur offers excellent conditions thanks to the high altitude, with pistes above 2,500 metres. It has a ski area encompassing over 40km of pisted slopes. There is something for everyone in Courmayeur ski resort making it a particularly good choice for families and groups with mixed skiing abilities. There are green runs, wide cruisy blues as well as challenging black runs and off-piste.

Particularly those accessed via Entreves, which include the Italian version of the Vallee Blanche and the Toula glacier.
