Hire an IFMGA mountain guide in Courmayeur
The Italian side of Mont Blanc is the quieter one, and the sunnier one. The Skyway lifts you to 3,466 m in two cable cars, getting you on to the glacier in 20 minutes for the Marbrées and Entrèves traverses and the Dent du Géant. Amazing terrain, quiet backcountry for ski touring, and beautiful climbing awaits in Courmayeur.
