What Skiers Say About Courmayeur

Courmayeur is a small, scenic resort beneath Mont Blanc that attracts intermediate to advanced skiers and snowboarders. Reviewers consistently mention well-groomed pistes, quiet slopes during weekdays, excellent on-mountain and in-town dining, and short lift queues outside weekends. The compact ski area is generally covered in two to three days, making it popular for long weekends rather than week-long trips. Most users highlight the beautiful, upmarket town with designer shops and good restaurant options, though some note limited après-ski atmosphere and higher prices. Snow reliability is aided by altitude and snowmaking, though lower runs can become slushy in spring. Several reviewers mention the lift pass includes access to nearby resorts like La Thuile.

Courmayour is not a ski in ski out area. The town, which is an old Italian town with lots of character, bars restaurants and shops, is in the valley.The ski area is a quick 5 minute very large gondola ride which is also frequent. There is a small village/front de neige at the top of the lift with half a dozen bars and restaurants, several ski hire shops (with lockers) and ski schools meet point.This area and the gondola remains open at night up to 11pmPistes generally good, with 2 sides to the mountain Reasonable sized ski area. More than enough for a mid week/long weekend. Gets very busy at the weekend as Italian weekenders strut their stuff.Food and drink on the slopes good value and generally similar prices to in town.

Went skiing for the first time in a long time, his was a good resort to get back into it. Plenty of nice blue and red runs and a few black runs - but they lose the sun quickly after noon and turns a bit icy. Good resort for casual skiing. Apres ski looked dead and was very expensive

Beautiful skiing (accessible to all levels), with amazing dining. We have had some of our favourite ski town meals there after enjoying great conditions and pistes that satisfied our whole group (from intermediate to very advanced skiers).

It is a brilliant all round resort. From an easy transfer from Geneva to great snow conditions, brilliant food and lots of great long runs, I love this place!

A long weekend trip with 4 intense days of skiing across the whole resort. Stayed in a hotel at the foot of the gondola, which was had everything we needed with no frills, though gear storage was a bit too basic. Excellent resort town with a real range of places to eat and drink, a general relaxed atmosphere. Not a real party town, but has some good bars that are open late.
The slopes themselves were well looked after, good snow coverage overall with only a couple of worn patches at the end of the 4 days under strong sunshine and no snowfall. A short trip was the right length, a full week would have been quite repetitive with very few returning runs available.

Awesome skiing to be had, whether off piste or on tree lined groomed runs, Courmayeur has it all. Not to mention the Vallee Blanche at the top of Mount Blanc descending into Chamonix. Theres so much choice, and the reaort itself is so beautiful.

It's an excellent offer piste paradise with multiple options for areas that are pure off piste but served by lift although one is only a 4 person bubble lift. The resort is in the shadow of Mt Blanc and although the listed runs are minimal in number the off piste and proximity to La Rosier and LA Thule help for some variety and only a short bus ride away. Overall a good place to visit. Off the pistess the town is quiet and average.

A small resort, but enough to do for a long weekend. The offpiste is really best to do just with the guides, as there is a limited amount next to the slopes and the backcountry looks like it would be very easy to get into trouble if not familiar with the terrain.

Very pretty. The runs are mostly red with a few easy blacks, but set in a steep valley, so the views are amazing.

The village is very pretty with a good choice of excellent restaurants.

Very easy to get to from Geneva through the Mont Blanc tunnel.

I went to Courmayeur a few years ago. The ski resort is fairly small but has good runs and lifts, with lots of long red runs. The value for money was very good I only spent around 1000-1200 for a week. You do get used to the resort after 2 days however its a good place to take family, schools and beginner skiers before going to larger resorts. The town in the resort was also very nice as well.

Amazing food in town, and best mountain food I've ever had.

Skiing is great. Off-piste, touring and groomed runs are all good.

The most up market of the resorts in the Aosta Valley, served by a large cable car to get you up to the ski area a wide south facing bowl greets you perfect for intermediates. Further afield and higher are some more challenging reds. Snow is generally good but the bowl gets slushy later in the season. The lift system is a little dated with mostly 2 or 4 man chairs rather the 6 or 8s you now find in bigger resorts. The resort is quaint and has lots of nice shops. One of the quickest resorts to get to from the UK by car!

Small resort but a lot going on. Its good at both ends of the spectrum acess to some of the best off piste skirting the world, (Vallee Blanche and others) and excellent for families/beginners/couples. Not great for intermediates who want to cover long distances etc.
In resort is fun, lots of outlandish Italian clothing brands, that no-one is really going to shop at because of the prices, but quite fun to see. Eating out is expensive, town centre eateries are crowded and the staff are moody and unhelpful. Try going out a bit and find an old fashioned traditional Italian, youll get the smiles, the humour the welcome and the food you expect.
