Courmayeur: Youla and Arp

Just riding the Arp cable car to this point
is often enough of a treat for Courmayeur visitors. From here at just under 3,000 meters is some of the best scenery afforded anywhere. In fact, all most people get to do from this starting point to the famous Cresta D' Arp off piste run is sight see. As we outline in our description of the Arp, all kinds of elements have to be in line before skiers are allowed even to bring their skis up the lift, let alone ski down the run. However, it is still worth the cable car ride, even if the Arp is not open on that day.
