A pleasant and convenient place to break our journey back from furthur south in Italy but a bit busy at this time of year compared to our visits out of high season when we have visited some of the attractions we ignored this time!

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveller

Nice place for families or to visit with that special someone.

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveller

Poor for beginners no real nursery slope area ! Some nice slopes other than that but not too much variety. Limited bars in town but many restaurants and shops

3/5 - Okay

Courmayeur is not really a serious ski location if you are intermediate or expert skier. Too many beginners who are skiing out of control or learning in your way or you have to avoid running into you. The front mountain is not groomed regularly
