    La Palud / Courmayeur

    La Palud is to high-alpine off piste skiing what Ferrari is to Formula One and Pavarotti is to opera: the Italian dream at full throttle. Granted, with its creaky, three-stage cable car rising from a 60-car parking lot, La Palud looks like a feeder hill. The first stage also hardly imbues the hardy spirit of alpinism, unloading as it does at a warm patio where Euro-Betties sunbathe topless.
    La Palud / Courmayeur is in the Aosta Valley region of Italy and has the following activities:
    Skiing, The most famous run is the 20km (13 mile) descent of the Vallée Blanche down to Chamonix from Helbronner Point (3369m), reached in half an hour from the La Palud cable car station.
