Actually, we just bought a bus ticket like everyone else and were chauffeured there. whomp whoooomp!
Losers, I know.
Courmayeur, Italy is a 45 minute bus ride from Chamonix, and it's really easy to book your ticket ahead online. I would reallyyy suggest heading over to this mountain. Even though we left Courmayeur to our last ski day—because we thought it had the hardest runs—we ended up doing our best skiing there! AKA: not falling as often! :)
Unlike a lot of the mountains in the Chamonix valley, there are several restaurants and rental places ON TOP of the mountain, so you can spend the entire day up there without having to leave the slopes. And I'm talking like real authentic Italian restaurants with delicious pizza, pasta to satisfy your cravings and carb-loading, NOT just snack bars with baguettes and beers.
Not that I'm complaining!
If you're looking for more intermediate runs, this mountain is your guy! You won't be disappointed!

ReplyDeleteOh I'm kicking myself now!! take me baaaaackkk!!
ReplyDeleteI meannnn, how could I not! ;-)
ReplyDeleteTAKE LESSONS! Yes, as an adult, TAKE LESSONS! I am a fairly advanced skier, and my husband is more of a beginner/intermediate skier, and we still had every intention of taking ski lessons in France just to get a refresher and learn about the mountain. It didn't work out for us, which is bummer, but we will definitely take lessons the next time. You can learn so much from these professional ski instructors—it's all about technique! I would highly recommend learning! :)
ReplyDeleteAwww, babe! I swear, it's almost over! LOL!
ReplyDeleteNow I want to hold on to winter just a little bit longer!
