Golf Club Courmayeur et Grandes Jorasses
A historic mountain club where golf feels inseparable from the Mont Blanc summer season
Golf Club Courmayeur et Grandes Jorasses has the charm of an older alpine world in which golf, grand hotels and mountain society still belong naturally together. In Val Ferret, beneath the Mont Blanc massif, the course offers a flatter and more walkable rhythm than many mountain layouts, yet the surrounding peaks give the experience constant grandeur. Its nine holes with double tees create a round that feels intimate rather than monumental, but never minor. The value of Courmayeur lies in style, setting and continuity with a place long associated with refined summer life in the Alps. This is not a modern power venue; it is a club for travelers who appreciate proportion, atmosphere and the ability to fold golf elegantly into a broader mountain stay. Played within a few days in Courmayeur, with hiking, spa time and long alpine evenings, it becomes one of the most civilised golf escapes in northern Italy.
Courmayeur makes the most sense when treated as part of a complete Alpine stay: a morning round, hiking or spa in the afternoon, and the club's character becomes immediately clear.

Exclusive Experiences
Secrets found in no guidebook, curated by our concierge.
Skyway Monte Bianco — Salita panoramica fuori punta
Skyway is a well-known experience, but for Courmayeur it remains a meaningful gem when done properly: a few hours, high air, nearby ice and an almost physical sense of Mont Blanc. It works as an extension of the club because it pushes the day further into altitude without turning it into a technical mountain outing.
“Avoid the central hours and go in late afternoon or on a clear day outside the heaviest flow: the difference between a spectacular experience and an overly touristy one is mostly a matter of timing.”
QC Terme Pré-Saint-Didier — Circuito serale ai piedi del Bianco
Pré-Saint-Didier is the most natural wellness gem for Courmayeur: hot water, mountain views and a sense of recovery that here feels physical, not merely aesthetic. After golf or after a morning walk, the thermal circuit works because it softens the body without cutting you off from the landscape.
“Choose an evening weekday slot and spend most of the time in the outdoor pools: the real payoff is the contrast between cold air and warm water with the massif still clearly legible in front of you.”
Val Ferret — Passeggiata morbida e sosta in rifugio
Val Ferret is Courmayeur's most convincing hidden gem when you experience it not as a sporting feat but as a valley to move through slowly: meadows, larches, stream and one or two well-chosen huts. It is the right place to close a post-round afternoon with a simple, beautiful walk and nothing to prove.
“Pick an easy stretch toward a hut you can reach without hurry and stop for a board or a glass before heading back: the real luxury here is to leave the valley while it still feels light, not to conquer it.”
