Celebrate Festivities at Le Massif | Courmayeur - Mont Blanc - Italian Alps

SOMETHING WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEAR AT LE MASSIF

AN UNFORGETTABLE CHRISTMAS Every and each Christmas really is a special Christmas.

It’s always a unique moment, like opening a gift, and it’s wonderful to experience it here, at the foot of Mont Blanc, a place where Christmas is just as you’ve always dreamed: the perfect snowy backdrop, fir trees dusted in brilliant white, the stunning silhouette of the peaks and stars which shine like precious stones in the clearest of night skies.

Here Christmas is synonymous with winter and the high mountains, in a place where time has stood still.

It’s Le Massif’s own Christmas, one to experience and share with the people you love.
