Ski Touring Difficult, Severe, Extreme
Right in the heart of the Mont Blanc massif lies the beautiful little Italian ski town of Courmayeur. Lining the cobblestoned streets are historic churches, fine restaurants, and elegant boutiques. The backdrop of majestic mountain peaks adds to the splendour of this little alpine town. Not to mention the skiing.
With fantastic off-piste options and easy access via a high-speed cable car to the neighbouring ski giant Chamonix, there are tonnes of ski tours in and around Courmayeur to try. Here are 4 routes to take you away from the crowds and on some thrilling descents. If you want something remote, wild and hair-raisingly steep, jump on the Col D’Entreves.
