What’s New for 2026/27?

This winter sees two new 10-passenger panoramic gondolas replacing the existing Checrouit gondola and Maison Vieille chairlift. The new cabins offer improved comfort, accessibility and energy efficiency.

Plan Checrouit is also being transformed into a new alpine plaza, creating a welcoming space for visitors to meet and relax.

Other improvements include the introduction of an Intelligent Pricing System, which adjusts ski pass prices according to demand, conditions and advance bookings.

Families, Food and Après-Ski

Courmayeur is a great choice for families, with the Maison Vieille beginner area expanding to include two new magic carpets. Children under eight ski free when an adult, youth or senior pass is purchased simultaneously, with reduced rates also available for young skiers up to 24.

For those with young families there is the Scuola di Sci Monte Bianco’s Baby Club. Open every day and welcomes both resident and non-resident children from the ages of 0-10 years old. It is an excellent daycare centre with supervised indoor play areas, snow activities and a children-only dining service.

Food is another highlight, with more than 20 mountain restaurants serving everything from traditional Alpine dishes to gourmet cuisine. Visitors can enjoy panoramic lunches, lively après-ski and evening dining, with some Val Vény restaurants accessible by snowmobile.
