Courmayeur
Located below Mont Blanc on the Italian side of the mountain in
the Aosta Valley, the atmospheric holiday destination of Courmayeur
is full of character with grand old buildings, narrow cobbled
streets and plenty of traditional Italian village charm. The
scenery is also spectacular with views towards the Mont Blanc, and
is surrounded by fourteen 13,123ft (4,000m) mountain peaks at the
junction of Italy, France and Switzerland. The village was once
known as a spa town and base for climbing, but became recognised as
a ski resort with the opening of the Mont Blanc Tunnel to provide
easy access from Chamonix and Geneva International Airport.
Information & Facts
Language
The official language of Italy is Italian. English is
understood in the larger cities but not in the more remote parts of
the country.
Money
The Euro (EUR) is the official currency, which is divided into
100 cents. Those arriving in Italy with foreign currency can obtain
Euros through any bank, ATM or bureaux de change. ATMs are
widespread. Travellers cheques can be exchanged with ease in the
large cities, not so in the smaller towns. Credit cards are
accepted in upmarket establishments and shops around the cities.
Banks are closed on weekends, but tend to have better rates than
casas de cambios.
