Ski area Courmayeur
Courmayeur's ski area is very diverse with its 41,5 kilometres of piste and 18 lifts spanning altitudes between 1,205 - 2,755 m. Thanks to the high altitude and the frequent return of the "Genoa Low", the ski area is especially snow sure. Mont Blanc's massive mountain range with endless glaciers and snowfields provides unlimited ski fun for all freeriders and deep snow lovers. Beginners find pistes below Mont Chetir as well as in Zertotta. Challenging pistes of different variations such as the "Competizione" are located along the back of Lago Chécruit towards Entrèyes. A particular highlight is the Punta Helbronner ski run at 3,459 m, with the option to descend into the valley or French Chamonix 20 km away. Snowboarders are recommended to visit the boarder park with rails, jumps, quarter pipes at the Loc, or the Plan de la Grabba with a 500 m long boardercross route. The lift pass "Aostatal", provides you with 868 kilometres of piste, as this is valid in resorts such as Cervinia, Valtournenche, Monterosa, Pila, Brusson or la Thuile. You are sure never to be bored here!
