Val Ferret, U-shaped valley in Courmayeur, Italy.

Val Ferret extends beneath the Pré de Bar glacier and the Grandes Jorasses mountains, with the Dora di Ferret stream flowing through its length.

The valley has experienced significant geological events, including a major landslide in August 2018 that required extensive evacuation procedures.

Mountain huts and local establishments in Val Ferret serve traditional alpine dishes that represent the culinary heritage of the Aosta Valley region.

The valley provides access points to numerous hiking trails, including the 170-kilometer Tour du Mont Blanc route connecting Italy, Switzerland, and France.

The area contains multiple mountain refuges at elevations between 1600 and 2000 meters, offering accommodations with direct views of Mont Blanc massif.
