One of the leading corporate ski trip resorts in Italy, Courmayeur has charm, great skiing, top après ski and short transfers – small wonder it is so popular for company ski trips.
Monte Bianco sits on the border with France and Courmayeur shares a ski pass, the famed Vallée Blanche, plus cuisine & culture with its famous neighbour, Chamonix-Mont-Blanc.
With Geneva transfers taking around 1h 20m, fantastic off-piste skiing, great après ski and serious charm & scenery – the basics for a memorable corporate ski trip are obvious in Courmayeur.
Off the ski pistes, Courmayeur is a delight with a historic centre, great corporate event activities, and wonderful regional dining in special venues.
Courmayeur skiing is pure eye-candy, with 14, 4000m plus peaks in view from the ski area. The Courmayeur ski area is one of the best in the region with excellent terrain for intermediates, whilst advanced skiers can take advantage of the fantastic off-piste terrain, including ski routes into the Chamonix valley in France.
Ski lifts leave the western flank of Courmayeur and there is an impressive vertical of over 1.5km from the top station at 2755m back down to the village. Beginners would start around the Plan Checrouit area, with several restaurants in this sector, for group lunches.
Known the world over, the iconic Vallée Blanche is synonymous with the Chamonix valley, yet the recently built Sky Way lift accesses the Rifugio Torino hut at 3375 m, from where the Vallée Blanche can be accessed. Ride the 18km ski route and enjoy a wine in Chamonix after one of the world’s great ski descents.
For those skiers and snowboarders looking to add to, or top the Vallée Blanche experience, heli-skiing is possible in Courmayeur. Fly into the Mont Blanc Massif and ride some of the most incredible descents in the Alps – an absolute highlight of any corporate ski trip.

Ski lifts depart the western edge of Courmayeur, whilst several satellite villages surround Courmayeur, offering further hotel and entertainment options.
Courmayeur has some of the best après ski in the region. On the slopes, Super G is one of the headline acts on the Courmayeur après ski circuit and is not to be missed. Eat. Sleep. Champagne. Brilliant.
For those with the stamina, The Club is on hand to thin the numbers at the following day’s breakfast buffet.
For those looking for some slope-side après ski, the cable car to the Plan Checrouit operates until midnight for those who can’t leave the mountain, or those heading back up after a refresh.
Another alpine option is taking a snowmobile to drinks and dinner in the mountains around Val Veny.
The recently installed Skyway cable car offers a range of spectacular meeting and seminar venues at the top station. Stunning views over the roof of the Alps are on offer, with truly memorable meeting breakouts.
Dining can be combined with the meeting programme, whilst meetings for hardcore skiers and snowboarders can be rounded off with a descent of the Vallée Blanche.
As well as meeting amongst the clouds, Courmayeur offers a range of venues around the charming streets of the village, in the Courmayeur Congress Centre or one of the larger hotels.
Dining and corporate event activities are superb in Courmayeur and these can be readily added to a corporate meeting & incentive event programme.
