Courmayeur Travel Guides (Updated September 2026)

That even in summer at high altitude it is not that cold after all. It was definitely a great experience!

An absolute must do if you are in the area. It was spectacular and well worth it. Loved it.

We were in the last days at the end of 2025. I think it was one of the most moving experiences of my life. A strong emotion. I do not deny that the price is exaggerated. But I think it was worth it. In 4 only by cable car over 200 euros and then everything else. Once in a lifetime, you absolutely have to go. I recommend it.

We have in Italy places that leave you breathless this is one of those beautiful spectacle of nature to redo

We had a terrible time at check-in. The people at the ticket office wanted us to email them our tickets issued by Cool Destinations. They could not scan our tickets through their window. We tried to email them the tickets and what they received was inadequate. The ticket person called a supervisor who eventually took our phone with the tickets showing, took a picture of the phone, and issued us our tickets for the lift. This took about 20-30 minutes. NONSENSE! Cool Destinations missed the boat on this one.Once admitted to the facility, everything was superb. We did the Infinity Room which was very worthwhile. We were visiting at the end of the summer season and were the only ones in the room . Fantastic!The funivia experience was excellent. The rotating car was a great feature. Once a the top, we checked out the interior "visual cliff" platform. Nerve wracking but very cool. The top level outdoor viewing area.Very good displays and explanations of the history of how the funivia was designed, created, and constructed. An engineering marvel.We bought the lunch at the top with our ticket purchase. Pretty good food and we ate at a table right by the window overlooking the mountains. Also spectacular.Our "tour" was self-guided and the Cool Destinations tickets said we had to be there at 8:30 AM. Not really so. I suspect that in the middle of the season that would be very good advice but when we went, that was unnecessarily early. 9:30 would have been fine.

Experience absolutely to do, wonderful! I do not recommend lunch in the restaurants of the structure. Cheap and expensive food. The stop at the Torino refuge, beautiful, still allows you to stay on top without time limit.

We received the ascent to Punta Helbronner as a gift and it was really a fantastic experience. We lived a summer day of cool and wonder that unfolded before our eyes when, ascended to altitude, we found ourselves at the foot a carpet of clouds dominated by majestic snowy peaks. Very courteous staff helpful and clean, safe and well organized.

Great experience, obviously amazing scenery, but the vote goes to the organization. Staff helpful, courteous and prepared. Just good impressions.

Exceptional view, a bit too crowded the transport wagon that especially does not guarantee a useful location to enjoy the trip. It's definitely worth going, even if the prices are a bit high.

We were there twice, both positive experiences: both as a couple and with 3 children. The skyway is beautiful and I highly recommend continuing the route with the cable car over the mar du glacé, from Punta Helbronner to the aguille du midi.

Very nice experience, also very good pavilion restaurant. Both the view and the stages are well managed. The cost is high, but worth it

Climbed twice due to bad weather, but it was worth it despite (even the price). If you go out of course the impact of the 3500 meters you feel much less. Not to be missed

It is best to print out your ticket from Expedia. The one you get through email that is written in Italian. Presented to the ticket office for your tickets and meal voucher. At the first stop you get to browse through the laboratory where scientists are finding ways to grow plants, and produce wines at altitude. You will be awarded with marvelous views as you walk around the botanical gardens. There is a restaurant at the first stop and also a buffet downstairs. Our tour included a meal at the top stop and the food was incredibly tasty. Very nice staff, limited English but enough to communicate effectively. We spent an about six hours in this experience. Self guided so research the area before you go up. You can also transfer to Chamonix and get to visit the aiguille de midi for an extra fee. Overall is a recommendation for everyone. Taxis are expensive to get back home and I would suggest to look at the bus schedule before you go up to plan your way home on time for reservations, etc. bus stop is to the left of the Monte Bianco ticket window or just ask they are very accommodating. Cheers

Wonderful views, interesting botanical garden , solarium well stocked with deck chairs to relax, attentive cable car staff , Punta Hebron restaurant with wonderful mountain views, simple but tasty dishes, very good desserts, cleanliness and attention.

Too crowded and very few seats. Bar staff composed of young guys who puff for everything. It remains the place and the climb that are d enchanting!

Beautiful Mont Blanc Experience with Skyway The very spacious cabin with a manoeuvre on board That turns the cabin 360° So you see the view as you go up 360 degrees Una cosa che non avevo mai visto! Experience that I would gladly repeat
