🇮🇹 Italy — Mont Blanc

Courmayeur

Courmayeur sits on the Italian side of Mont Blanc, opposite Chamonix, with around 41.5km of pistes spread across sunny, south-facing terrain from about 1,224m up to 2,624m. The Skyway Monte Bianco cable car links the resort to Pointe Helbronner and, via the Panoramic Mont Blanc gondola, across the glacier to Chamonix's Aiguille du Midi — making the pair a classic cross-border combo for skiers and the Vallée Blanche off-piste run.
