Understanding the Courmayeur piste map
The Courmayeur piste map covers a compact but varied ski area spread across two distinct mountain sectors: Chécrouit on the south-facing slopes above the resort and Val Vény on the quieter northern side. Although these sectors have different characteristics, they are fully connected by lifts and pistes, allowing skiers to explore the entire mountain without returning to the resort. At the base of the map sits Courmayeur (1,224 m), where the main Dolonne gondola and Courmayeur cable car provide direct access to the ski area beneath the Mont Blanc massif.
- Immediately above the resort, the Chécrouit sector (approximately 1,700–2,300 m) forms the heart of Courmayeur's skiing. Served by a dense network of gondolas and chairlifts, this sector offers the greatest variety of pistes, with wide blue and red runs descending across open alpine slopes. It is also home to several of the resort's principal restaurants and panoramic viewpoints, making it the busiest and most popular part of the mountain for intermediate skiers and families.
- Higher up the mountain, the ski area climbs to Maison Vieille and the Checrouit ridge, where longer red runs and steeper black pistes provide more technical skiing. These higher slopes benefit from spectacular views across the Mont Blanc range and offer some of the resort's longest descents back towards the mid-mountain lift stations.
- To the west, the ski area extends into the Val Vény sector, reached via connected lifts from Chécrouit. This side of the mountain has a noticeably quieter atmosphere, with more sheltered, tree-lined slopes and fewer pistes than the main Chécrouit area. Thanks to its aspect and natural terrain, Val Vény often retains excellent snow conditions throughout the season and is particularly popular with confident intermediates, advanced skiers and those wishing to experience Courmayeur's renowned off-piste terrain as part of a guided experience.
- Closer to the resort, several gentle blue runs provide straightforward routes back towards the main lift stations, while dedicated beginner areas around the mid-mountain offer a welcoming environment for first-time skiers before progressing onto longer pistes across the mountain.

The Val Vény sector offers a quieter and more natural skiing experience on the opposite side of the mountain. Characterised by tree-lined slopes, excellent snow preservation and access to Courmayeur's renowned off-piste terrain, it provides a more secluded alternative to the busier Chécrouit sector.
