The Skiing


Courmayeur offers skiing for all standards, including famous runs such as the resort's World Cup Downhill and the International, a 6km (4 mile) run which drops 1000 metres (3300 feet) as it descends. Many runs are covered by snowmaking machines and the resort has a very good snow record. There are two main ski areas. The largest, Checrouit - Val Veny, is directly above the resort, and is largely suited to beginners and Intermediates, although there are some Challenging off-piste docents from top to bottom.

 


The excellent ski areas of La Thuile and La Rosiere are nearby where the off piste can be fantastic and if the conditions allow, heliskiing can be arranged - this should not be missed!
