Courmayeur: Transfer Times & Map
Courmayeur Ski Resort: Skiing Beneath Mont Blanc
Courmayeur is a historic Italian Alpine resort in the Aosta Valley, sitting beneath Mont Blanc close to the French border. The resort combines high-mountain skiing with a traditional town centre, Italian restaurants and easy access to some of the Alps’ best-known off-piste terrain.
The main Courmayeur ski area rises from the resort towards Plan Chécrouit and Val Veny, while the Skyway Monte Bianco provides access to high-altitude viewpoints and renowned freeride terrain around Mont Blanc.
- Resort altitude: approximately 1,224 m
- Highest ski lift: approximately 2,755 m
- Pistes: around 42 km
- Ski area: Courmayeur Mont Blanc
- Main ski sectors: Plan Chécrouit and Val Veny
- Best for: intermediates, experienced skiers, freeriders, couples and food lovers
Skiing and Snowboarding in Courmayeur
Courmayeur’s ski area offers a good mix of pistes, with intermediate skiers and snowboarders particularly well catered for. Much of the marked terrain is made up of red runs, alongside easier slopes for beginners and more challenging pistes for experienced skiers.
The resort is also well known for off-piste and freeride skiing. Experienced skiers can access high-mountain terrain around Mont Blanc, including the famous Vallée Blanche, although these routes are unmarked and should only be attempted with appropriate experience and professional mountain guidance.
Courmayeur Village and Après-Ski
Courmayeur combines skiing with a lively Italian mountain-town atmosphere. The pedestrianised Via Roma is at the heart of the resort, with shops, cafés, restaurants and bars providing plenty to do after the lifts close.
Après-ski tends to focus on mountain bars, restaurants and relaxed drinks rather than the larger party scene found in some Alpine resorts. Courmayeur is particularly well known for its Italian and Aosta Valley cuisine, making it a good choice for couples, groups and visitors who want as much from the resort as the skiing.
Getting Around Courmayeur
Courmayeur is relatively compact, with local buses connecting the town centre with the main lift areas and surrounding villages. The principal access points to the ski area include the Courmayeur cable car, Dolonne gondola and Val Veny cable car.
The Skyway Monte Bianco is located at Entrèves, a short distance from central Courmayeur, with local transport providing access from the resort.
Nearby resorts can also be reached by road. Chamonix lies on the French side of the Mont Blanc Tunnel, while other Aosta Valley ski areas include La Thuile and Cervinia. These are separate ski areas and are not lift-linked to Courmayeur, so road transport is required.
Where to find Ski-Lifts at Geneva Airport
When you land at Geneva Airport, finding Ski-Lifts is straightforward. For transfers based on flight times, passengers are met by the Ski-Lifts team at our dedicated desk in the Swiss arrivals hall.
After collecting your bags and clearing customs on the Swiss side, turn left in the arrivals hall and look for the Ski-Lifts sign between the Brezelkönig café and UBS Bank, opposite the cash machines. Using the Swiss Sector exit keeps the route fast and avoids the extra time and complexity of leaving via the French side.
