Val Ferret Hiking & Cross-Country Skiing

Val Ferret is a pristine valley stretching northeast from Courmayeur, renowned for its spectacular natural beauty and outdoor activities. In summer, it's a prime destination for hiking, with trails leading to iconic refuges like Rifugio Elena and Rifugio Bonatti, offering panoramic views of the Grandes Jorasses. Difficulty ranges from easy valley walks to more challenging routes. In winter, Val Ferret transforms into a cross-country skiing paradise, boasting over 20 km of meticulously groomed Nordic ski tracks suitable for classic and skate techniques, winding through snow-covered forests and alongside the Dora di Ferret river. There are also snowshoeing trails. Access is often restricted to buses or pedestrian traffic during peak seasons to preserve its tranquility.
