Traveller notes on Courmayeur in October
Other months in Courmayeur
Courmayeur's forum flags January weather as genuinely volatile given its elevation and mountain setting — regulars say it's not unusual for conditions to shift substantially within the same day. Weekends bring day-trippers up from Milan for the Aosta Valley resorts, and the nearby Cogne and Rhêmes valleys are singled out for excellent cross-country skiing if the downhill slopes get crowded.
