Welcome to Courmayeur Ski Resort

  • Chic and sophisticated Italian ski resort
  • Great for short breaks with quick transfers
  • Compact and varied ski area
When you think of a Mont Blanc ski holiday, the renowned French ski resort of Chamonix is likely to spring to mind. But, take just a 20-minute drive through the tunnel to the other side of the mountain, and you’ll discover Courmayeur – a chic ski resort in the heart of the Aosta Valley, Italy. With sunny, south-facing slopes, glistening snow-capped peaks, and an air of sophistication, this is a true hidden gem. 
Courmayeur ski resort boasts perfectly groomed intermediate red pistes flowing through lush pine forests. Open powder bowls are ideal for boarders, and there’s a sprinkling of slopes for first-timers and those still prone to the occasional wipe-out. 
Fancy a quick escape to the mountains? Getting to Courmayeur ski resort is simple, with quick transfers from Geneva and Turin airports. Plus, with snowmaking covering 80% of the ski area and the highest lift going up to 2,600m, the snow is on point all season.

Best time to ski in Courmayeur

Courmayeur skiing runs from mid-December to mid-April, so take your pick of the best times to go. Italy is generally quieter than France and Austria, so it’s possible to find empty slopes mid-week, especially if you avoid the usual peak periods of Christmas, New Year, and February half-term holidays. You’re also more likely to pick up a bargain outside these times. December is more festive, while January and February are generally cooler and more snow-sure. March onwards, fantastic spring skiing kicks in. Facing south, Courmayeur ski resort gets lots of sunshine, so if skiing in a t-shirt is your thing, book a trip in April.

Snow conditions in Courmayeur

With heaps of the white stuff dumping all season long, Courmayeur ski resort usually has a bumper load of snow. The first flurries settle in December, and the slopes are looking mint by January. The south-facing slopes are magic in February, with sunny bluebird days getting in on the action. And if you prefer a little more warmth, the snowiest week tends to be at the beginning of March, topping up the pistes for some epic springtime skiing.
