Courmayeur

On the other side of the Mont Blanc tunnel lies Courmayeur, where you can ski the Italian side of Mont Blanc which is as impressive as the French side. In this small, friendly old village, which has a large international community like Chamonix, you will find some true Italian charm. There are plenty of good shops and restaurants around, and the nightlife has something to offer to everyone. The same goes for the ski area of Courmayeur. There are lots of easy runs, as well as high mountain and black runs. There is also great off-piste like the famous Cresta d'Arp run, and you can access the even more famous Vallee Blanche run from here with Point Hellbronner as a start. There are two major ski areas in Courmayeur; one on the Mont Blanc and another on the opposite side of the valley with half centered around the Plan Checrouit and the other half around Val Veny. The Courmayeur ski area is included in the Mont Blanc Unlimited pass.
