Courmayeur
Skiing in Courmayeur
Probably the most internationally renowned of Interski's four resorts, Courmayeur boasts 100 kms of exciting downhill runs, from easy to challenging.The Baby Bowl is a great beginners area, serviced by its very own (slow moving) button lift. Safe and secure. Ideal for learning. For intermediates, Courmayeur is a 'red run heaven' - loads of wide pistes of varying gradients. Internazionale is fantastic and holds some great snow long into the season. Diretta and Bertollini are the order of the day for the more advanced. They are steep, challenging and seem to change day to day. Brilliant!
Nestling comfortably at the foot of mighty Mont Blanc, Courmayeur is a delightful, old traditional Alpine village, at the heart of which is a maze of interesting, narrow cobbled alleys. Largely traffic- free, it is lined with charming shops. We bet you won't be able to resist the tempting pastries, delicious cheeses, smoked meats, local wines and the infamous grappa on offer! In addition, there are some fabulous restaurants and some great, atmospheric bars - one you won't want to miss is the Bar Roma at apéritif time! We'll say no more!
