Skiing is as you like it.

Skiing is as you like it. Lots of easy stuff for cruisers, but some high mountain and bumpy black for better skiers. The same goes for the après ski. Disco 'til dawn, or sit back and sip some local wine. No matter, you will enjoy it. Here's the nifty gritty.

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.
