Dont go here
Sun 22 January 2006 Iestyn
If you have been riding everywhere else in the world and needed to try somewhere new then Courmayeur is for you. If however, you only get to ride once or twice a year then avoid Courmayeur like the plague. Bored after 2 days, runs very average and not much to do. Also take out an extra mortgage before you go - you will need it. Pretty town though. All in all -don,t go.
