A small but scenic resort with a reasonable variety of runs. Through out the week the resort and runs tend to be quiet but it can get very busy at the weekends.
The lift pass is a average price but a 6 day pass includes two days skiing at any other Aosta valley resort. La Thuile is only approximately 30 minutes by bus which is free with the lift pass.
The town is small but beautiful and friendly with a range of high end designer shops.
There are off piste options but these require a guide and good snow conditions. The pistes are well covered by snow making facilities which help to make sure that Christmas skiing is assured.
I have been to Courmayeur 3 times and even though the ski area is small I would happily go again.
