Discover the breathtaking atmosphere of this charming unparalleled town. Courmayeur is an Italian town in the autonomous region of Valle d'Aosta, in northern Italy. It is located at the foot of Mont Blanc, the highest mountain in Western Europe, in the Graian Alps range, and is crossed by the Dora Baltea. Courmayeur shared the summit of Mont Blanc with its neighboring commune of Chamonix in France and earned thus the title of the highest municipality in Italy.

It is one of Europe’s most famous ski locations, but here you will also find the Botanical Garden Alpino Saussurea, which can be described as Europe's highest botanical garden. During the summer months, Courmayeur is a popular destination for hikers.
