Due to ongoing works on the Ivrea-Aosta line, the direct rail service to Aosta is replaced by substitute buses. Depending on your itinerary, a bus connection may be required from Ivrea, or from Chivasso during certain phases of the works. Please check the latest timetables with Trenitalia before departure.
Once in Aosta, you will need to take a bus operated by Arriva Italia to complete your journey to Courmayeur.
Bus / Shuttle
Once in Courmayeur, you will not need a car to get around. Use Courmayeur’s public shuttle service, Aosta Arriva, which allows you to travel easily and reach Val Ferret and Val Veny. It is free !

carpooling
If you cannot find a suitable train or bus option, consider carpooling. We strongly recommend optimizing the number of passengers per car, with at least 3 people, by offering seats to friends or via carpooling platforms such as BlaBlaCar.
Car
Getting to Courmayeur or Aosta by car requires some planning. Private cars are practically unnecessary during the event, so we strongly recommend using train and bus services for your journey to the HOKA UTMB Mont-Blanc.
