How to get around Courmayeur
How our self-guided Courmayeur walking holidays work:
Our self-guided trips let you set your own pace, from the length of your stay, to how far you walk each day. But if you’re used to group or guided holidays, you might be wondering how you’ll get around? Well, it’s easy…
Getting to and around town:
Your airport transfer is included with your trip. Once there, you’ll find Courmayeur a compact, elegant town that’s easy to explore on foot. The pedestrianised Via Roma is lined with boutiques, bars, and cafés - and the valley-floor trails of Val Ferret and Val Veny fan out from the edges of town in both directions.
Getting to your walks and hikes:
The Dolonne cabin lift and Val Veny cable car give you quick access to high-altitude trailheads without the slog. For the ultimate ascent, the Skyway Monte Bianco gondola runs from nearby Entrèves.
Local buses connect Courmayeur to the wider Aosta Valley, and the Mont Blanc Express train runs to Chamonix for cross-border hiking adventures.
