Italy
Courmayeur
A three-hour flight to Geneva, then a car ride to Courmayeur just under 1.5 hours. Much smoother than that, it is almost impossible to get to the beautiful Alps in Italy! Courmayeur is a genuine little village in Italy with a lot of charm! The town lies on the borders of France and Switzerland at about 1200 meters elevation.
One of the “great” experiences is taking the new gondola Skyway up to 3466 meters altitude, where you can almost feel that you touch Mont Blanc. In summer, you cancar all the way take the cable to Chamonix. Courmayeur, Aosta Valley’s oldest ski resort, has always been significant to Italian mountain guides. If you tire of skiing downhill or country cross, you can always try a trip with sledge dogs or snowshoe hiking.
Courmayeur in Italy all year round
There are also plenty of opportunities to experience nature all year round, including hiking, mountain biking trails, a 9-hole golf course, horse-back riding, play tennis, go fishing or kayaking. If you want to try more adventurous experiences there is hang-gliding and mountain climbing. You can finish your active day and relax the muscles in a thermal spa or in a 38-degree pool. During the evenings, enjoy good Italian food and local wine or the unique cava produced at 2173 meters’ altitude.
