We did out own Apres Ski in the hotel as the intention was to keep the kids together and we tried to get them off to bed early!! Our hotel was across the extremely busy road so we weren't actually staying in the heart of the village which was a pity really but we enjoyed our time in the village before our dinner.

COURMAYEUR SKI HOLIDAYS

Courmayeur is an attractive village set amongst splendid scenery. Glaciers abound and views onto the Mont Blanc are spectacular. There is a lift link to the Aiguille du Midi, where the famous Vallee Blanche route runs down to the French resort of Chamonix. The skiing in Courmayeur favours the intermediate, although there is a good deal of off-piste terrain as well as heli-skiing. The village of Courmayeur started out as a mountaineering village and there is a rich history of alpinism in Courmayeur. The resort has something of a strung out nature and although the lifts do not leave the centre of the resort, they are convenient for some areas of Courmayeur. Beginner slopes are located on the edge of Courmayeur.

I went with a ski group from school on my first ever ski holiday and it was fantastic. We had three groups of kids from beginners(including me) to advanced and everyone was happy!!

I loved this place and it was wonderful for a first experience.
The mountains were just awesome and I was knocked out by it all. Looking at Mont Blanc each day had the complete WOW factor for me and I just could not stop smiling and enthusing.
People were friendly and welcoming and it was lovely to wander around with the kids before dinner.
