Ski snow sure Chamonix and the vast Mont Blanc valley, combine superb high altitude skiing for all abilities with an atmospheric resort of character and beauty
Unlike most French ski resorts,
Chamonix is a resort steeped in history. Quaint buildings,
cobbled streets, bustling pavement cafes and superb scenery
all help to create an atmosphere that attracts visitors all
year round.
Chamonix offers tremendous variety for both skiers and non
skiers alike, the ski area is so vast that you can ski a
different area every day including Courmayeur in Italy.
Chamonix caters for all levels
of ability whether you are a beginner intermediate or
advance skier/snowboarder, Chamonix has something for
everyone from the most gentle runs to the most challenging
including the world famous vallée blanche off-piste glacier
run
Non skiers can purchase a pedestrian pass to capture the
breathtaking scenery. A trip on the Montenvers train to
Europe’s largest glacier and its ice grotto is a
must, or just admire the view from one of the many mountain
top restaurants. There are also 17 km of footpaths designed
for walkers. 3 complete circuits take walkers deep into the
winter alpine landscape.
