What to Expect
Italian Wine & Cuisine
Cortina, Courmayeur and Corvara are renowned for their excellent cuisine at mountain rifugios, where recipes are passed down from great grandmothers, and Michelin-star restaurants that create innovative plates with seasonal produce. If you’re skiing the Sella Ronda, the Piz Boè Alpine Lounge restaurant is a must for southern Tyrolean cuisine. In Courmayeur, Giacomo welcomes everyone at Maison Vielle, we recommend his trio of pasta plates for two.
Winter Activities
In Courmayeur, take in the 360-degree views on the rotating glass cabins of the Skyway Monte Bianco cable car. Peruse the designer shops of Courmayeur’s Via Roma or relax in the Pré Saint Didier thermal baths nearby. There are plenty of activities in Alta Badia, including ice skating on the frozen Sompunt lake, horse and sleigh rides through the snow and an indoor swimming pool. Learn about the local Ladin culture at the Ciastel de Tor and Ursus Landinicus museums.
