December in Courmayeur — one of the year's strongest windows (3rd)

A 9.1/10 puts this among the year's best months in Courmayeur (3rd of 12); only February scores higher, at 9.3/10.
Pack insulated layers, a windproof shell, gloves and boots with grip, a waterproof shell rather than an umbrella, goggles and a helmet if you are not renting.
Plan for peak pricing, with this is one of the busiest months here. You are paying the year's highest rates for the year's best conditions — book early or shift a few weeks either side.
