Courmayeur: Schneevorhersage

Spent 4 days in Courmayeur in March 2019. Good snow fell just before but the top lifts were winded-off for 3 of the four days. Great daytime atmosphere on the mountain with Checrouit mid-mountain feeling like a mini village in itself. The back side Veny has shady and narrow runs which are often icy. They are marked as blue but are very difficult for beginners so the amount of beginners terrain is half of what the piste map claims. The town is pretty and the main pedestrian street has nice shops. I have to say thought the apres-ski is literally non existent! We booked one night on the mountain because we read in several articles that the apres was "loud and late" on the mountain... pure rubbish, by 16:30 there was 4 people playing fussball at the main Super G terrace and then the DJ finished at 17:00! The town itself was also incredibly quiet, with nothing in the way of music or even a lightly full bar. The best apres-ski was the pizza place which also had no music but at least there were people. We ended up cutting our losses and heading to Chamonix for our remaining three nights where we danced on tables to the incredible No Limits band in Chambre Neuf. In summary, it's a lovely place for a day trip or if you have young children but if you like to have even one drink after your day's skiing forget it!
