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.

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.

Very attractive town. Reasonable ski area with plenty of nice mountain restaurants. The ski area is quite high so a good chance of snow.

We had an enjoyable long weekend skiing in Courmayeur. Can highly recommend Hotel Berthod and Ristorante La Boite.
Difficult to find many gluten free places to eat out but Ristorante La Boite offered gluten free crackers and gluten free pasta (although you have to ask).
A lot of the lifts are very old and a bit slow but ski hire is good. We went late in the season so it was a bit slushy and lumpy at the bottom and quite icy at the top. The views from the top of Youla lift across to Mont Blanc on a sunny day are incredible. We found everyone to be very friendly and fab to be able to leave your skis and boots at the top of the gondola for no extra charge with SkiSet rental.

Courmayeur is a small resort and some of the higher up lifts are slow and can have a very long line. The option of hiring a guide and doing the vallee blanche is a nice addition for those looking for more adventure. The village is very historic and charming and has an excellent selection of dining and shopping. I would certainly consider coming back

Quite a small town with lots of high end boutique type shops.
People very friendly and the ice cream and cakes in the shops were delicious.
Went to a very inconspicuous cafe that near the cinema and they did an amazing pizza and pasta that you would expect to find in a restaurant with lovely fresh wine... Went back the next day or was that good!!

Hotel food was amazing. 4 courses when 2 would've been enough but again the food was fantastic. Rooms very clean and staff were so so friendly.

Snow was great and our lift pass took us to France for two days which was great to break up the week.

Would definitely consider to go back

Courmayeur has something for everyone, some lovely wide pistes and great restaurant options for mountain lunches. Lots of off piste options and good for bad weather days - skiing in the trees.

Only drawback is that it is a pretty small resort, can ski all pistes in a day so perfect for a long weekend but over a week will get u board

Of conditions allow for off piste, thats a different story

Piste are few but great, however

Great skiing, both pisted and off-piste.

Mountain food is unbeatable. 8 for an outstanding pizza.

Option to rent skis on the mountain, meaning you don't need to carry skis back to your apartment each night if you're hiring.

Apres-ski is amazing too - there's a club/bar open on the mountain until 12:00am most nights, accessible without skis & is always amazing fun.

Probably one of my favourite resorts incredible terrain, tons of side country to be found and a killer après scene. Specifically super G is a great way to celebrate the end of a magical day on the mountains as you see mont blanc in the distance
