About Aosta
jussi from Finland wrote about Aosta 2 years ago
Our route to Courmayeur went through Aosta and we stopped by to check the town as a potential place to stay when visiting Cervinia. The old town, piazza and pedestrian areas were pictoresque but overall the town was a bit shabby and under construction.

jussi from Finland wrote about Le Grand Hotel Courmaison 2 years ago
The hotel is located some 3 kilometers from Courmayeur centre and the cabin lift. They have a free minibus from the hotel to downtown. Otherwise just another accommodation, but they have a small gym and sauna, which is definitely a big plus! :-)

When the weather is bad in France side of Mont Blanc it just might be perfect day to go trough tunnel to Italy and Courtmayer, and get cabin up to 3300m and Mer de Glace. Better hire a guide if you're not pro.

You can get to the top of Klein Matterhorn with a skilift. It's probably the highest place to ski in the Alps and has snow through summer. I was there is July and people were skiing while is was climing on the glacier. The skilift itself is a nice experience, as it rises very rapidly at the end.

The highest point where you can spend a night before continuing up to Matterhorn. You can reach the hotel with some effort as the trails are excellent. The view down to the valley is spectacular as is the view up the Matterhorn.

Climb to the Hörnllihütte even if you're not going to climb the Matterhorn. It's a great climb and you'll see the steepness of the mountain with your own two eyes. It's incredible. One guy I met in Zermatt climbed the Matterhorn by trailing a guided group that started the climb here one morning. There are risks though, at least one person died on the week I was here so don't do anything crazy...

Hörnllihütte is an incredible place, and one can reach it safely. Anything above it is dangerous though. I spent a night sleeping outside the hütte and started climbing early next morning with two buddies.
