Each sector offers a mix of pistes suitable for different skill levels, with snowmaking in place to ensure reliable conditions. The longest run, stretching 2 km, allows for a satisfying descent with panoramic views of the Mont Blanc massif.
Beginners will find several wide, gentle pistes near Plan Chécrouit, where ski schools operate and learners can build confidence without pressure. These lower slopes are easily accessible and well signposted, making them ideal for children and those new to skiing. For intermediates, the network of blue and red pistes across both sectors provides smooth, scenic skiing through open terrain with varied gradients.
Advanced skiers will appreciate the steeper reds and blacks in the upper sections of Val Veny and around the Arp lift, where the elevation and aspect often mean good snow quality. With 52% of pistes marked as advanced and 15% for experts, Courmayeur offers plenty of challenge. The vertical drop of 1,531 m allows for sustained descents that test endurance and technique.
Freestyle enthusiasts will find one terrain park near Plan Chécrouit, equipped with features for all levels, from beginner boxes to more technical jumps. Though compact, the park is well maintained and offers a fun break from piste skiing. For those seeking off-piste opportunities, Courmayeur serves as a gateway to the renowned backcountry descents of the Mont Blanc massif, though a guide is strongly recommended.
The landscape is particularly striking, with views of jagged peaks, forested lower slopes, and broad alpine bowls. The setting is part of what makes skiing at Courmayeur so memorable—not just the variety of pistes, but the backdrop in which they're set.
