Courmayeur lies close to the Italian border at the foot of Mont Blanc, Europe’s highest mountain, in the Aosta Valley. It is a characteristic Italian village of cobbled streets, stylish shops and excellent cafés and bistros, all set within an attractive medieval centre. The main skiing area is at Plan Checrouit and, with over 80% of the skiable terrain covered by snow cannons, snow here is virtually guaranteed. The scenery from the slopes is stunning.

Apres Ski in Courmayeur is both stylish and lively in the typical Italian way! The Roma Bar for example, is attractively spacious with comfy sofas to lounge into after a hard day on the slopes. Other favourites are the Bar delle Guide and the Cafe della Poste. If it is the English pub scene you require try the Red Lion. Couymayeur even boasts two night-clubs.
