The Monte Bianco mountain hut, nestled in the stunning Val Veny at the foot of the majestic Mont Blanc, is easily accessible by car in summer and via the ski lifts in winter. Situated directly on the slopes of the Courmayeur ski area, on the Val Veny side, it allows you to arrive comfortably on skis.
A place designed for mountaineers, skiers, hikers and anyone who loves the mountains in their purest form. Here you can treat yourself to the unique experience of a night at high altitude and wake up to one of the most breathtaking views in the Alps: sunrise over Mont Blanc.
The rooms welcome guests into an intimate and evocative atmosphere, where, even for just one night, you can feel like true high-mountain explorers, privileged spectators of the sun rising before anyone else.
From an energising breakfast to an alpine lunch break, through to an aperitif at sunset and a dinner reached by snowmobile, every moment is an experience. All this takes place in the bright panoramic dining room, which frames the Mont Blanc massif, or on the terrace with unobstructed views across the entire mountain range, from the Grandes Jorasses to the Pyramides Calcaires.
