Courmayeur

Courmayeur Resort Restaurants

Where do you start? Courmayeur has so many amazing restaurants. Some of our favourites are Pierre Alexis, Cadran Solaire, the Mont-Frety, The Padella and the Vieux Pommier, Brasserie Judith, Al Camin. If you want something less expensive like a classic pizza or pasta meal, we suggest La Piazzetta Du Tunnel or La Terrazza - they serve the best pizza, ever! In Entreves a short taxi ride away you could try the famous 36-dish feast at Maison de Filippo, or the giant steaks at the Brenva.

Courmayeur Mountain Restaurants

You will be spoilt for choice as there are 27 establishments ranging from large self-service places to rustic little huts and chalets. Courmayeur 's Chiecco is a fine spot as is Christiania and the Courba Dzeleuna. We recommend Maison Vieille with its delightful owner Giacomo serving homemade pastas in a rustic atmosphere. On the other side of the Mountain at Val Veny we recommend trying the friendly Grolla, where you can sit on the sunny terrace in front of the Mont Blanc. Captain des Alpes near the Zerotta chairlift is a great spot for some suckling roast pig as well as veggie chestnut and blue cheese gnocchi or fondu of nettle ravioli. Another favourite is called Chateau Branlant at Plan Chercrouit. Don' t let the name fool you as this is actually a small venue so pre-booking a table is essential. The food is out of this world and the wine list is as impressive.

Courmayeur Apres Ski

The cable car back to Courmayeur runs until midnight which means you can ski back to the mid station "Plan Chercrouit" and soak up some apres ski. There is usually live music or a DJ playing at Super G or you can chill out at the very smart La Lodge. In town you can try La Bouche where mixologist Valentina conjures cocktails from mountain herbs, flowers and fruits alongside mini bites. While DJ's and bands play chilled mood music in the covered outdoor space. The popular Bar Roma serves free canapes in the early evening while the Caffe della Posta and the bar delle Guide are also worth trying. The Cadran Solaire is where the hip from Milano hang out, while the bar Prive makes some great cocktails, the American bar has good music and a fine selection of wines. Most will be a short stroll away from your accommodation! Courmayeur has a lovely pedestrianised street too, so it is very pleasant to walk from each bar back to your home for the week.

Courmayeur Nightlife

The evening scene is lively - at the weekends anyway! There are plenty of stylish bars. The Prive serves lovely cocktails and Poppy's is a popular place for drinks. For those looking for good music at the end of the evening before heading back to your hotel, Courmayeur's American Bar is good fun.
