“The Queen
in the shadow of the Giant”
The Queen of the White, Courmayeur, is really unforgettable. Completely ‘into the white’, it has a soul which is elegant and wild. Italian style meets the essence of alpine traditions at the foot of Mont Blanc. A famous destination for international tourism, Courmayeur is the oldest alpine resort in the Aosta Valley, a true paradise for lovers of skiing and snow sports.
Fun, relaxation, and entertainment are assured, not only wandering through the central and well known Via Roma, but also in the fascinating typical alpine villages which dot the inner valley. Here alpine tradition is manifested in a glorious refinement of food and wine, of architecture and of culture.
