Anybody with specific details about what lifts are covered with a Courmayeur lift pass would be great. Does a local Skipass cover runs to Zerotta/ Gabba? On the website it currently offers a Courmayeur lift pass for €239 and one for Courmayeur + Aosta Valley for the same price!! Times I’ve visited the resort before I was under the impression that the local pass was for Plan Checrouit and if you flipped over to Gabba/Bertolini etc that was covered on the more expensive pass. Is this still the case or have the lift pass boundaries changed?? Any clarity appreciated. NB for a 6 day pass

@Mistermish, the pass you mention covers all of Courmayuer ski area, and one day at another of the Aosta resorts, we did La Thuile last year for a day, it may also include one trip up the skyway lift up Monte Bianco, worth doing if the weathers good, it revolves 360 degrees on each ascent/descent, last lift is 4pm, if you get there for 3.30 there's enough time to get to the top station and spend a bit of time there, don't bother spending any time at the mid station.

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

Cheers. Is it me or has the lift pass been ramped up considerably? For such a small resort it’s only £50 less than a 3 valleys pass! Ah well it is what it is, guess someone’s got to pay for the fancy pants new cable car 😂😂

The 6 day Aosata valley pass covers Courmayeur, ALL lifts, plus TWO days at other areas. IE La Tuille, Pila, Skyway. just 2 not all three. If you have transport you could use 1 day to go to Cervinia, about an hour & half drive. The 5 day pass only covers 1 other area.

@Mistermish, you’d think that but actually a lot of the resorts are quite spread out and tolls expensive. Like I was supposed to go to Alagna last night (I live in Aosta in the city) and that’s a six hour round trip with €80 in tolls. Courmayeur is the closest resort to me (after local hill Pila) and it’s still 30 mins drive + €9 toll. Few years ago I got the full valley pass (I think it was about €1,000) and only ended up using it twice outside of Pila....so basically had two days skiing other resorts for €300 each day ...still feel sick thinking about it!

moseyp-Aosta to Courmayeur is still only 40 mins without using the motorway,IE no toll. La Thuile also. Based in Courmayeur, I've managed to do Courmayeur, La Thuile x 3, Pila x4 & Cervinia once, Will definately go there again in the next week or two. Champoluc is a possibility but at over 2 hours not so sure.

@Old Man Of Lech, 90 minutes if using autoroute...

@Old Man Of Lech, it’s 50 minutes each way - that’s not a short trip, especially when petrol costs as much as it does here. And my point was that’s the closest resort to me and it’s still quite a drive. Champoluc is 90 minutes and a €30 toll - each way. Purtroppo I can’t afford to drive three hours and pay €60 in tolls to ski there for a day

Driving in the Aosta Valley is usually a dream as the roads are so quiet. The level of the tolls is clearly successful in pushing drivers onto other roads.
