Courmayeur
What do ski season jobs pay in Courmayeur? →Aosta Valley, Italy
A mountaineering town of about 2,600 people beneath the Italian side of Mont Blanc, and one of the few Alpine resorts that functions as a real town year-round rather than closing out of season. Chamonix is twenty minutes away through the Mont Blanc tunnel. Aosta Valley is officially bilingual, so French is useful alongside Italian.
