When to visit

The best time to visit Courmayeur is during the winter months from December to March when the town is covered in snow, and the ski season is in full swing. For those looking to enjoy outdoor activities like hiking and mountain biking, the summer months from June to September offer pleasant weather and clear skies. Avoid visiting during the shoulder seasons in April-May and October-November when many attractions may be closed for maintenance.

Getting around

Courmayeur is a compact town that can easily be explored on foot. However, for longer distances or to access nearby ski areas, there are regular bus services available. Taxis are also a convenient option for getting around town. During the winter months, a car rental may be necessary for accessing the ski slopes and exploring the surrounding areas.

Traveller tips

Make sure to pack appropriate clothing for the weather, especially during the winter months when temperatures can drop significantly. Don't miss the opportunity to relax in one of Courmayeur's thermal spas after a day of skiing or hiking. Try the local specialty dishes such as fondue, polenta, and hearty stews for an authentic taste of the region. Be prepared for higher prices in Courmayeur compared to other Italian towns due to its upscale reputation. Lastly, book your accommodation and activities in advance, especially during the peak ski season to avoid disappointment.
