Sightseeing

Courmayeur is aa great ski resort, it is not the biggest, but it is really stylish and beautiful wherever you look at. You are on the sunny side of the Mont Blanc, with vistas that are gorgeous. And food is also amazing and not too expensive at all!

Great place to go and see the world in 360. There is a middle station - good to stop so you do not suffer too much the difference in altitude, and it has in summer a botanical garden that is exquisite, a place to eat and a playground for kids. The top station has a cyrstal room, and you can watch the views from inside if the weather is not good.

A great city with lots of Roman ruins to go and see, also lovely buildings, great places to eat, a good day trip, very near the home, 25' away. You can drive or take the bus by the church to reach it.

Great place to go to relax, the terme di Pre Saint Didier are a must see place, with people coming only for that year long. Great outside pools and saunas with views of the Mont Blanc Massif, and lots of rooms for different treatments are available to have a great day! Only accepting kids of 14 years old and older.

Food scene

Places I recommend to eat at.
This place is amazing for its food. It used to have a Michelin star, but as it closed to be refurbished, it has lost it. We are sure they'll get it again. All done with local produce, the food is a feast to your eyes and your tastes! Expect a long evening there, of around 3 hours

Expect to be served what they have in the menu, and maybe you ask something and you get something else, but the people are so nice, you have the TV on, it seems you are in the living room of your house. Plus the prices are very competitive!

Great bar for aperitivo or a quick breakfast, with quick paninis and drinks. There is a football table that my kids love also. Not open on Mondays.

Just across the main church in Morgex, you eat fantastic with good rates! Family ambiance, good house wine, what it not to like?

Lovely place where to eat on a sunny day in Courmayeur. The interior is a bit more crowded, but they have tables on skis (literally) on the snow. Food is lovely and with great portions and good rates. You must reserve, if not, good luck in getting a table! They do some night dinners too, they take you with snowmobiles (skidoo) from the top of the Armani funicular at Plan Chécrouit. The funicular opens until midnight, allowing you have dinner on top of the mountain and then getting down to Courmayeur. And if you don't want to drive, remember you have a midnight service that takes you back from Courmayeur all the way to Aosta (so Morgex is just some minutes down the road from Courmayeur!)

It is our pit stop for hot chocolate (with panna - I go all the way), when we go skiing in Pila. It is on top of the Chamole lift, which has lovely long red runs down to the bottom. The owner, Freddy, is a character like taken from an old Rock n Roll band. Really cheerful, cool place. Also we've eaten once polenta and cervo, lovely and had big burgers - that could have been shared as they are massive.

I love the food of this place, found it by chance on the first time we've slept in Courmayeur, and we kept on going. The food is very good, ambiance really nice. You need to reserve though. We were lucky the first time to find a place because we were late, but if not, it is difficult!

Skiing

Worth going, a good sized ski resort that is connected to La Rosiere in France. It is by the pass of the Piccolo Saint Bernard, which in the heyday it was the only pass of the Aosta Valley to France.

Great family resort, good ski schools, easy to be at, my kids adore it. Great vistas of the Mont Blanc, Monterosa and Monte Cervino (Matterhorn). Good on-mountain restaurants with decent prices.

Cross-Country and Trekking

Great cross-country resort and trekking or mountain bike in the summer, just 8 km away from Morgex. Great views of the Catene de Monte Bianco from this place.
