More info about Mountain Climbing in Courmayeur:

Situated in the shadow of the Mont Blanc massif, in the northwestern corner of the Aosta Valley, Courmayeur is a popular and ideally located starting point for a variety of different mountaineering expeditions. Along with the lesser-climbed Via Italiana up to the summit of Mont Blanc, there is also the lesser-climbed southern route up to the top of the Matterhorn, or Monte Cervino, as it is known on the southern side of the border. This is challenging variation is also a bit tougher than from the Swiss side, but yields the same unbeatable views. Aside from these two, there are plenty of other iconic peaks to be conquered. Monte Rosa, Gran Paradiso and the Breithorn are all perfectly suited for novice mountaineers looking for some high-altitude alpine experience. Meanwhile, Aiguilles d’Entrèves is the perfect 1-day challenge for advanced mountaineers looking to get another classic alpine route under their belt
