- nobody from the tour operator was there to meet us - their phone numbers left here are wrong! - we paid buffet at the pavilion but got something completely different with no explanation - we paid 60€ MORE than the price and everyone was shocked when they noticed -
Fabulous experience, the views were spectacular and the food in the restaurant was well worth it. Highly recommend the experience.
On a clear day, this is an extraordinary trip. Everything was well organised - from the free bus that takes you to the cable car from Courmayeur bus station, to the smooth cable car journey and the awaiting scenery. The views are spectacular, and even four seasoned mountain skiiers were awestruck. The service of the staff was also excellent. We hadn't realised that our Courmayeur 6-day lift pass gave us a free Skyway trip - so we booked in advance at €55/per person. As we went through the gates, showing our tickets, our lift passes in our jackets bleeped us through. The official heard - and whisked us away to process a refund for the advance tickets we had purchased. A little act of honesty and kindness that added to the whole experience.
The place is perfectly operating and the views are breathtaking. We enjoyed it immensely. It is highly recommended! The only problem we had with this trip was that the combination of entry fees and nice though not outstanding lunch amounted to an unreasonably expensive price. It should be a lot cheaper if one adds the standard entry fees and the cost of a decent lunch.
This is a great bubble out of Courmeyor up to the Refugio Torino where we started our climb. The Skyway rotated round we went up which gave us a great view
