Ski Accommodation Courmayeur
Book Courmayeur ski accommodation direct with owners chalet apartment.
Courmayeur offers scenery, the charm plus the nightlife. Courmayeur makes a good day trip from Chamonix (the weather on the southern side of Mont Blanc can be quite different from that on the northern side) or a jolly week for those who want to party as much as ski. It also appeals to a quite different kind of skier, who wants to explore the spectacular Mont Blanc massif with the aid of a guide and local peaks with the aid of a helicopter.
- Stunning views of Mont Blanc massif
- Pleasant intermediate runs
- Much of the ski region is served by artificial snowmaking
- Good mountain restaurants
- Charming, village, with car-free centre and some chic shops
- Lively, but not raucous nightlife
- One of the shortest, easiest drives from the Channel, and brief airport transfers
Courmayeur is a traditional old mountaineering village which, despite construction of the nearby Mont Blanc tunnel road and proliferation of modern hotels, has retained much of its old-world charm. (The road passes close to the village, but generally has surprisingly little impact on it.)
The village has a charming traffic-free centre of cobbled streets, attractive shops and well-preserved old buildings, the most impressive of which is the church. An Alpine museum and a statue of a famous, long-dead mountain rescue hero add to the historical feel of the place.
