Reaching Courmayeur from the UK is very easy. The airports of Geneva and Turin are both approximately 90 minutes’ drive away, and the nearest train station is Pré-St-Didier — 5 km down the road. Regular busses run the route.
Courmayeur is busy all year round but does get more crowded during school holidays. Courmayeur is relatively low altitude compared to other resorts (although it does have skiing up to almost 3000m) so you might be better off heading to a higher altitude resort if you are planning on travelling during the early and late season weeks of the season as the snow is not as reliable.
On the accommodation front, Courmayeur is home to a wonderful range of traditional Alpine properties. You’ll find welcoming Italian hotels to suit a wide range of budgets, and there’s a decent selection of chalets run by UK tour operators too, whereby you can roll flights, transfers, food and accommodation into one handy package.
Courmayeur and Chamonix are linked by piste, alternatively there is a bus that links the two resorts.v
Foodies visiting Courmayeur in search of traditional Italian Alpine cuisine will not struggle to find menus to whet their appetite. There’s a wonderful selection of welcoming cafes and restaurants both up on the mountain and down in town, where fresh ingredients ad Italian flair combine.
