On the Italian side the choice is simpler than in Chamonix. You go up — the Skyway Monte Bianco, alone with a ticket or with lunch and company — or you go along Val Ferret and Val Veny, on a guided day, an e-bike ride or the TMB on foot. The third camp is for people not staying in Courmayeur: a coach from Milan or a private car from Turin, with the Skyway in the price.

Valley rides & walks
GetYourGuide sells no guided TMB stage or TMB trek: the guided TMB stage days sold this summer were taken off GetYourGuide (checked 30 Sep 2026). They may return when the 2027 season opens.
The trails are still there to walk on your own. Stage 5 of the TMB runs 12 km from Courmayeur to Rifugio Bonatti along Val Ferret, by way of the Bertone hut; stage 4 comes down 18 km through Val Veny from Rifugio Elisabetta.
With a guide, the Val Veny & Val Ferret tour is a full day in a small group for €199 per person, ★5.0 from 2 reviews — both reviewers rode e-bikes. On 30 Sep 2026 it had 2 open dates, 1–2 Oct. The Guided E-Bike Tour in the same valleys is €180 for 6 hours, ★5.0 from 13 reviews, with open days to 10 Oct.

Questions exactly as people ask them
Mont Blanc Tour from Courmayeur Questions
What is the Skyway Monte Bianco?
The cable car from Courmayeur up the Italian side of Mont Blanc, opened on 23 June 2015. It leaves Pontal d’Entrèves at 1,300 m, stops at the Pavillon at 2,173 m and ends at Punta Helbronner at 3,466 m. The two sections take four and seven minutes, and each 80-person cabin turns a full 360° on the way up, so every seat gets the view.
How much is the Skyway from Courmayeur?
An adult return to Punta Helbronner is €59–63 online and €64–68 at the desk in 2026; the partner ticket on this page was €59 on the date we checked. A return to the Pavillon only is €25–27 online. Children aged 7 and younger ride free with a full-fare adult, with the ticket collected on site. The ticket includes the Hangar 2173 museum; food and the Infinity Room are extra.
What is there to do at the top of the Skyway Monte Bianco?
Three things are in the €59 ticket: the terrace at Punta Helbronner, 3,466 m, the sun terrace at the Pavillon, 2,173 m, and the Hangar 2173 museum with the exhibition on Paul Helbronner. The Mont Blanc Infinity Room at the Pavillon is paid on the spot, and so is food at the restaurants. From the top, the Panoramic Mont-Blanc gondola continues to the Aiguille du Midi, a leg sold only at that summit.
Can you cross Mont Blanc from Courmayeur to Chamonix by cable car?
Yes, over the top: the Skyway to Punta Helbronner, then the Panoramic Mont-Blanc gondola to the Aiguille du Midi and the cable car down to Chamonix. From the French side, that gondola leg is €42.50 and sold only at the Aiguille du Midi summit; Chamonix to Helbronner and back is €125.50. By road, the Mont Blanc Tunnel is 11.6 km.
How long do you need for the Skyway?
The ride itself is four plus seven minutes. The Milan day trip allows about 30 minutes for the cable car and three hours of free time at the mountain; the Skyway day with lunch lasts seven hours. The partner ticket is valid for one day, and a reviewer notes you can move between the first and second stations as you like.
Is there a Mont Blanc tour from Courmayeur without the cable car?
Yes, two guided rides, both below the lifts: the guided TMB stage days sold this summer were taken off GetYourGuide (checked 30 Sep 2026). The Val Veny & Val Ferret tour is a full guided day, €199, ★5.0 from 2 reviews, ridden on e-bikes, and the Guided E-Bike Tour in the same valleys is €180 for 6 hours, ★5.0 from 13. Neither rides a lift, so both suit a day when the top is in cloud.
Is there a tour of the Aosta Valley and Mont Blanc from Milan?
From Milan: Monte Bianco and Courmayeur Day Trip is 12 hours for €139 with the Skyway tickets included, ★4.6 from 30 reviews. It leaves from Largo Cairoli: 3.5 hours by coach out, about three hours of free time at the mountain, three hours back. It showed no bookable date for 15 Oct 2026, so check the calendar for yours. Reviewers rate the guide and transport ★4.9.
Is there a Mont Blanc day trip from Turin?
From Torino: Mont Blanc Private Full-Day Trip is 10 hours with the Skyway, ★5.0 from 1 review, listed at €720. Its options were not checked, so confirm whether that price is per person or for the whole car before you book. The Milan coach at €139 is the reviewed alternative with the Skyway included, but it leaves from Milan, not Turin.
How much do children pay on a Mont Blanc tour from Courmayeur?
Nothing on the Skyway up to age 7, when they travel with an adult paying full fare; without one they get a 75% discount, and their tickets are paid for and collected at the station, not sold with the partner ticket. The e-bike ride suits families on the easy Val Ferret route but states no minimum age. The Milan day trip lists pregnant women, wheelchair users and people with heart problems or claustrophobia as not suitable.
Can I walk part of the Tour du Mont Blanc from Courmayeur?
Yes, on your own. GetYourGuide sells no guided TMB stage or TMB trek: the guided TMB stage days sold this summer were taken off (checked 30 Sep 2026). Stage 5, Courmayeur to Rifugio Bonatti, is 12 km along the Val Ferret balcony. Stage 4 comes down 18 km through Val Veny from Rifugio Elisabetta. The huts open mid-June to mid-September, and the full trek is 168 km over 11 stages.
Where does the Skyway leave from?
From Pontal d’Entrèves, the valley station at 1,300 m — the listing says to look for the Skyway Monte Bianco sign. A September 2026 reviewer found the parking and the departure easy, and used the tickets stored on her phone. The Milan day trip brings you there by coach and the Turin day by private car, both with the Skyway tickets included.
