Val Veny Hiking & Climbing

Located southwest of Courmayeur, Val Veny offers a wilder, more dramatic landscape, dominated by the majestic Miage Glacier and the Mont Blanc massif. In summer, it's a popular starting point for various hikes, including trails to Rifugio Elisabetta Soldini and the beautiful Lac de Combal. The valley is also a gateway for mountaineering ascents, with numerous climbing routes on its surrounding peaks. Its lower sections are ideal for leisurely walks and picnics. In winter, Val Veny is home to a portion of the Courmayeur ski area with some of its most challenging runs and exceptional off-piste terrain. It's also a significant area for ice climbing on frozen waterfalls.
