 Poster: A snowHead

Anyone have recommendations for a good guide/instructor for Courmayeur? We're out week of 14/02 and hope to do a couple of days guiding including VB. Last time we went we had a day with one of the Ski School guides but he was a bit disinterested and made it seem as though it was another day at the office for him (which of course it was!). Cheers.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Thanks Monosteve. I've had a look at the website and it looks pretty good- I'll drop him a line. Enjoy your season!

I second Gianni Carbone. A fab day with him doing the VB from the Courmayeur side in 2013. Charming, great guide.

He lives on the other side of the mountain, but I recently spent a day with Yan Raulet (www.chamonixskiguide.com). Super nice guy. Worth a call.

Courmayeur is the right place to be on 14/02 -- the patron saint of Courmayeur is St Valentine  . It's a superb place, my wife and I spent Valentines there last year (actually on the mountain, in a Chalet at the top of the Val Veny lift, it was pretty much perfect). When we were there I did ask about skiing over to VB and was recommended Gianni Carbone by the locals, although we didn't end up going. Enjoy it whoever you go with!

Ok. Just back from the best day skiing with the kids. Gianni is absolutely all you would want from a guide- charming and patient and an absolute hit with the kids especially my 10yo who was practically glued to the back of his skis all day. Really knowledgeable and reassuring- we were in places that I wouldn't have dared even thinking about but with Gianni's calm guidance even the little one coped better than well.
I really can't recommend him more highly especially with a family, but I think he would be excellent for a bunch of lads out to terrify themselves just as well!
Thanks for the pointer Monosteve- and he's still working with MW.
