COURMAYEUR, ITALY

Set in the Aosta valley commanding spectacular scenery and splendid views, Courmayeur has ideal pistes for beginner's and intermediates, but are limited for the advanced skier. Ther are fantastic, yet affordable, mountain restaurants offering both local and international food and drink - try the Maison Vielle for its superb hot chocolate (thick enough to stand your spoon up in). As the restaurants increased in altitude so did their quality, with many at the top being owned and run by the Italian locals. The Town is very pretty and clean, offering locally sourced delicacies, patisseries and produce together with logo inspired boutiques and jewelry shops, oh and not forgetting the excellent pizzaria's and coffee shops. An ideal holiday destination. However, ski zealots may feel somewhat disappointed, in which case you are ideally placed near to Chamonix and Champoluc.

Flights and transfers smooth. Weather was off the scale good. Hotel - Welcoming, attentive and friendly. Touch of the old world about it. Resort - quiet for the early part of the week. Bar Roma well worth a visit. Imogen (the rep) was very helpful and always available.
