Skiing is as you like it. Lots of easy stuff for
cruisers, but some high mountain and bumpy black is
available 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. People
looking for outdoor Activelifestyle pursuits need
not be limited solely to alpine skiing.
Cross-country skiers will find small, but very beautiful trails
in Val Ferret just outside the town in the direction of the Mont
Blanc Tunnel. A second possibility for cross-country skiers is
in Dolonne, again just outside town, but in the other direction. Summer action also revolves around the magnificent Mont Blanc. Besides being even more imposing
in summer than it is in winter, the mountain is also more accessible due the absence of snow, and
roads that are more available. |

The cross-country area at Val
Ferret that we spoke of earlier becomes a pleasant hiking and
sightseeing area, with a 9-hole golf course meandering alongside
the river. |

|
There is no way that this course could be described as
one which would attract "serious" golfers to a golfing
based holiday, but as a pleasant way to pass the day, or
an evening after a day's business, this is a cracker. If
it is challenge that you are looking for you won't find
it in the conventional meaning here, but when playing
along those rough, narrow fairways and greens, it is
challenge enough just to keep the ball out of the water.
And imagine, all of this surrounded by the pulchritude
of Mont Blanc and the beautiful valley in her shadow.

At this writing, we are not too sure if the summer
skiing above Courmayeur is in operation. At last report
it was not, and more's the pity. But never mind, even a
sightseeing trip to the Funivie Monte Bianco is worth
the effort. It is a thrilling ride to 4,000m and one of
the most spectacular sights in the world. Getting back
to earth, Courmayeur has an abundance of land-based
sports besides golf. Tennis, for one, horse back riding
for another, super trekking possibilities, bungee
jumping, canyoning, hydro speed (bobsledding on water),
kayaking, canoeing, parachuting, mountain biking, and,
for an exercise in peace and patience, you can try your
hand at trout fishing in the river trout reserve. Got
the picture? There's plenty of action to be had in
Courmayeur. |

|
|
However if no action at all is your cup of tea, then no
action it shall be. Go sit on the mountain and soak in
the sun's rays by one of the two swimming pools at
altitudes of 1700m or 2050m. Or enjoy one of the many
restaurants or snack bars scattered over the mountain.
The cable cars run all summer, so you won't have to walk
to all this "non action". Lunching in the village or one
of the valleys can be an all day affair, or hey, just
sit on your balcony and drink in the beauty. You can be
as active or as inactive as you want to be. |

A superb convention centre located in the centre of town
has every physical and communication facility needed to
have your business function running as smoothly as
possible, regardless of size. There is plenty about in
the form of discos, bars, restaurants and the like, but
it is not overly rambunctious to the point that you
cannot stand it. It is, as the rest of Courmayeur,
rather pleasant. Dining out is a real treat, and runs
the whole price range.
