of the three resorts, Courmayeur boasts 100
kms of exciting downhill runs, from easy to
challenging. Some pistes are famous for their
intoxicating length, others because they host
famous competitions. The Baby Bowl is a
great beginners area, serviced by its very
own (slow moving) button lift. Safe and
secure. Ideal for learning. For intermediates,
Courmayeur is a ‘red run heaven’ – loads of
wide pistes of varying gradients.
Internazionale is fantastic and holds some
great snow long into the season. Diretta and
Bertollini are the order of the day for the
more advanced. They are steep, challenging
and seem to change day to day. Brilliant!
Nestling comfortably at the foot of mighty Mont
Blanc, Courmayeur is a delightful, old
traditional
Alpine village, at the heart of which is a maze of
interesting, narrow cobbled
alleys. Largely traffic-
free, it is lined with charming shops. We bet you
won’t be able to
resist the tempting pastries,
delicious cheeses, smoked meats, local wines and
the infamous grappa on offer! In addition, there
are some fabulous restaurants and
some great,
atmospheric bars – one you won’t want to miss is
the Bar Roma at apéritif
time! We’ll say no more!
