Hotel Funivia is located in the La Palud hamlet, one of the most picturesque areas in the Courmayeur territory, nestled between the Italian side of Mont Blanc and the Val Veny. This privileged position, just 1.1 km from the Skyway Monte Bianco — the panoramic cable car connecting the centre of Courmayeur to Punta Helbronner at 3,466 metres above sea level — makes the hotel an ideal starting point for both winter ski slopes and summer hiking trails.
La Palud is a small, quiet hamlet that retains the authentic character of the Aosta Valley mountains, away from the traffic of Courmayeur’s centre while remaining just a few minutes’ drive from the main shops, restaurants and services. The valley floor narrows here, offering spectacular views of the snow-capped peaks of the Mont Blanc massif in every season.
In the immediate surroundings, there are direct access points to the trails of the Parco Naturale Mont Avic and via ferrata routes, while the area is renowned among cyclists for the tracks climbing the Val Veny. In winter, the Courmayeur slopes — connected to the Chamonix ski area on the French side — are reachable in just a few minutes. Montenvers and the Mer de Glace are approximately 19 km away, through the Mont Blanc Tunnel.
