RESORT INFORMATION

The skiing is possible to an altitude of 2,700m (the village lies at 1,200m) with the main action commencing on Plan Checruit at 2,200m. The only skiing in the village is in Dolonne (a "suburb" of Courmayeur) that is limited to absolute beginner's terrain. However, there is at least one beginner's area at the higher level and plenty of green (easiest) trails for skiers with few miles under their boards to practice. The majority of the slopes are best suited to decent intermediate skiers; and there are selected areas for very good skiers to challenge their abilities. Possibilities for "off piste" skiing abound in Courmayeur, which has a couple of cable cars serving "high mountain ski areas", which challenges both skills and stamina. The moral of the story is that there really is something for everyone here.

APRES SKI / NIGHTLIFE

The fifty or so eateries and restaurants serve predominantly Italian fayre, naturally enough. And why not when it's as good as the fresh home made pasta at Gabriella's. Pierre Alexis, a restaurant established in 1877, offers further pasta specialities and traditional Italian dishes. La Padella is another choice, serving 20 different types of spaghetti. For pizza lovers the Pizzeria du Tunnel has a reputation for high quality, low cost, big pizza. For non-Italian food the Du Parc restaurant offers Alpine treats such as raclettes and fondues as well as Chinese dishes. Staff speak English, Japanese and Swedish.
