Courmayeur is an extremely popular resort in the shadows of Mont Blanc. The resort is linked from the pretty town by one of Europe's largest gondolas. There are a lot of snow cannons that top up the lower slopes, which can become thin as everyone heads back to the gondola. Powder-hounds will revel in the upper slopes and lower down there are plenty of wooded areas for some superb tree-skiing. Despite its impressive surroundings, Courmayeur is not the most challenging resort but is certainly tamer than Chamonix. Off the slopes, the town of Courmayeur is pretty, very lively and its centre is car-free.

Visitor Reviews of Courmayeur
Michael Griffiths from United Kingdom writes:
Drove to Courmayeur for the day from Chamonix last week through the Mont-Blanc tunnel (€48). Astonished at the price of lift passes for the day: €43 each with adult starting at age 15 and no family discounts. Also dismayed at the lift queues compared to Chamonix and the crowded slopes. Pistes were quite nice if a bit boring, views onto mountains great but won't be rushing back due to costs and queues.
