I will be in Courmayeur for 6 days beginning Feb 15. We have a car and would like to know which ski areas would be worth a visit within an hours drive. We already plan to ski Thiule
Thanks!

Pila is definitely worth a day trip.

La Pub - it might be the reps second home, but it's a bit of a dump!

With a car in the Aosta Valley, you could spend more time skiing at other resorts and less time at Courmayeur! My choice would be Pila and La Thuile for a day (get into France that way). Parking at the Aosta gondola is easy for Pila and relatively easy in La Thuile as well.

I agree La Pub not high on the Apres singing stakes but the beer is OK, the staff v nice and the clientele is set to vastly improve 'cause I will be there.

How good a skier are you? You could have a pretty amazing weeks offpiste from Courmayeur, has to be one of best locations in the Alps to base yourself. Would be pretty cool few days to do a French and Italian VB, Toula glacier and then tons of offpiste in Courmayeur itself. If you did that not sure your legs would allow you to do much more.
