Beyond Lo Matsòn

Lo Matsòn continues beyond the market, bringing together restaurants, shops and local businesses in a widespread journey dedicated to Alpine Botanicals. For the 2026 edition, many local businesses have chosen to reinterpret the theme through special culinary offerings, curated selections, dedicated window displays and bespoke initiatives, creating an experience that extends throughout the streets of Courmayeur.

An invitation to discover Lo Matsòn beyond its heart, following the thread of Alpine Botanicals through flavours, products, creativity and encounters.
