The best summer hikes in Courmayeur: Val Ferret, Val Veny, Mont de la Saxe and the Tour du Mont Blanc.
Courmayeur in summer is a hikers' paradise: 4,810 m above you, trails of every difficulty and panoramic refuges where you can stop for Valdostan food.
For families: Plan Chécrouit and Val Ferret
The gondola climbs to Plan Chécrouit (1,700 m), starting point for easy walks among larch woods. In Val Ferret, the flat Mont de la Saxe trail is perfect for children and grandparents.
Panoramic itineraries
The Tour du Mont de la Saxe offers one of the most famous views of Mont Blanc. For experienced walkers, Rifugio Bonatti (2,025 m) in Val Ferret is an unmissable stage of the Tour du Mont Blanc.
Practical tips
Early morning start, plenty of water and layered clothing: at altitude the weather changes fast. Always check conditions on the Fondazione Montagna Sicura website.
