Courmayeur, “Dolce Vita” under Mont Blanc
Italy is not just Rome, Milan, Venice and Florence, the tourist destinations par excellence: in winter, Courmayeur, on the Italian side of Mont Blanc, is paradise for skiers, climbers and dolce vita enthusiasts. An unrivaled alpine landscape and a warm Italian welcome.
Italy is well-known all over the world for its cultural treasures, its old towns, its fashion design, and its extraordinarily varied landscapes. In winter, in one of the top ten tourist attractions in Italy, a vacation under Mont Blanc cannot be missed. The Roof of Europe, in fact, is also Italian: on the Italian side of the mountain lies Courmayeur, the famous winter resort. The cradle of mountaineering, a romantic village nestled in the Alps, a glamorous destination: there’s always something to enjoy in this fascinating resort.
The most exceptional character of Courmayeur is its unique location: positioned among Italy, France and Switzerland, it represents the essence of the Italian Way of life. On the Italian side of Mont Blanc you can find the sense of style which is so typically Italian. Courmayeur is a perfect synthesis of different cultures. Mountains do not separate people, they rather unite peoples: no barriers can be found in this little town, where, traditionally, Italian and French alike are spoken. Despite being located at high altitude, thanks to its climate, Courmayeur deserves the appellation “the sunny side”: the summits form a barrier to the clouds, and even in the depths of winter the resort often boasts a beautiful bright blue sky.
Courmayeur is a paradise for skiers: the location offers a magnificent view of the Mont Blanc range and a great variety of perfectly powdered slopes. And, at the end of every day, the fun never stops, thanks to the après-ski: the gondola is open until midnight for those who wish to stay on the mountain in the bars and restaurants at high altitude to enjoy an aperitif or a dinner with shows, dj sets and live concerts.
Courmayeur is particularly renowned for freeride, with its stunning scenery of 40 miles of fabulous slopes, lovely blankets of powder, and an incomparable landscape. The ski area gives access to wonderful, world-famous descents, and the area around Mont Blanc offers a series of beautiful off-piste runs, such as the incredibly scenic Vallée Blanche, between Italy and France, and Toula, on the Italian side.
Lastly, Courmayeur, embodies the essence of elegance, which is perfectly represented by its “boutiques”. This town perpetuates an age-old tradition of warm welcome, and at the same time knows every little secret of a refined lifestyle. Here you can find the most prestigious brands and the most trendy bars and restaurants, and, actually, we can even speak of a “Courmayeur way of life”. A stroll in the historic via Roma means plunging into the glamourous style of the shops offering clothing, handcrafts, jewelry and design, as well as the gastronomic delicacies and wines typically produced in Aosta Valley.

Ski the Beautiful Chamonix Valley in France
The Chamonix valley is not a ski vacation to be missed. At the foot of Mont Blanc, it offers one of the best ski experiences in Europe. Add to all that, the near perfect location of the Hotel de l’Arve and you have a great ski trip experience for a great price.
The Chamonix valley cuts deeply through Europe’s highest mountains and glaciers. The views are stunning and the runs are everything really tough runs should be – not only steep, but high and long.

Book Early Ski Early in Europe and Avoid the Crowds
You may not realize it, but a number of Europe’s leading ski resorts are open for skiing in October, November and also December. So why not take advantage of the early ski season this year? You’ll enjoy the uncrowded slopes. Also, you’ll be paying less for accommodation and lift passes.
Early season skiing is usually limited to glacier areas. However, on the positive side, you’re likely to have the slopes to yourself. You’ll be able to travel leisurely through quiet airports. Also, you’ll be the first to try out the new season’s equipment. And if you’re traveling with family, the advantages continue to accumulate. Are you fed up with limited availability, crowded slopes, and sky-high prices? Wouldn’t you rather enjoy a more relaxing, peaceful and better value ski trip? Then get your skis on the snow in October or November instead.
It’s impossible to predict snow conditions for early season skiing in October or November, it’s hit and miss in the autumn. However, some years lucky skiers and boarders have been riding on powder a meter deep in the first weeks of October!
Early Season Skiing in Austria:
Along with Hintertux, Kaunertal and Pitztal, Austrian autumn glacier ski or board options include the Kitzsteinhorn glacier at Kaprun; the Mölltal glacier, the twin glaciers of Solden; the Stubai glacier close to Innsbruck and the Dachstein glacier, not far from Schladming.
Early Season Skiing in Switzerland:
Well-known areas include Saas Fee and Zermatt. Four other good autumn choices, which may only be open at weekends until the main winter season begins, include Glacier 3000 between Les Diablerets and Gstaad; the Titlis Glacier above Engelberg another; the Vorab glacier at Laax the third and the Diavolezza glacier in the Engadin Valley close to Pontresina and St Moritz the fourth.
Early Season Skiing in France:
Tignes is the only French ski resort opening for almost all of autumn – re-opening around the last weekend of September after it had closed its summer skiing operation.
Les 2 Alpes traditionally opens its glacier ski area, which it claims is Europe’s largest, for a 10-day period (two weekends and the week in between) at end of October and start of November when they run an autumn snowsports festival with lots of fun events and gear testing. Then closes until the main season.
Early Season Skiing in Italy:
In Italy Val Senales and Cervinia usually opens at the end of October, offering access from the Italian side to the Klein Matterhorn glacier above Zermatt. The only other option is the summer ski centre at Passo Stelvio, normally open at least in to October.
