Hotel Cristallo, Courmayeur

This three-star Aosta hotel is superbly located in the centre of the town of Courmayeur, in the Aosta valley close to the French border and Mont Blanc itself. The Hotel Cristallo offers a superb base in the very heart of the most popular part of the Italian Alps. Valle d'Aosta boasts spectacular scenery and a national park with ibex and chamois on the slopes of perhaps the most famous mountain in the Alps, Mont Blanc (Monte Bianco). Courmayeur is the smartest and the most popular of all of the Valle d'Aosta resorts, famed for skiing but also a popular summer location. There is even summer skiing in the capital of Alpine destinations, boasting no less than 343 official pistes. Courmayeur boasts Alpine chalets and apres-ski hangouts, and the hotel is only a few minutes' walk from the famous cable car that glides and swoops across Mont Blanc to Chamonix, across the border in France. The scenery here under the year-round glaciers of Mont Blanc is simply spectacular, whether enjoyed from the cable car or from the balcony of your hotel room. Access to this destination is by air, either to Turin or Geneva airports.
