Courmayeur eats well for an Alpine resort. The Val d'Aosta has a distinct culinary identity — hearty, dairy-heavy, and French-influenced — and the town's restaurants take it seriously. Expect fondue, polenta, cured meats from the valley, and the local Fontina cheese in everything. The après-ski crowd also keeps a lively mid-range restaurant scene alive, with several places serving late into the evening.
