The ultimate alpine playground! Ski epic slopes, admire Mont Blanc, and enjoy the lively town with bars, shops, and more. Perfect for quick, thrilling getaways!
Chamonix is world-renowned among mountain enthusiasts and adrenaline junkies, providing action and adventure twelve months of the year. Neighbouring Italy and Switzerland, while also being home to the highest peak in Europe (Mt Blanc), Cham's scenery is some of the most spectacular in the world. Summer or winter, this vibrant town is bustling with an international community. From museums to shops, bars to restaurants, Chamonix boasts a unique personality that you don't find in many other French resorts. An efficient bus service connects all the smaller villages and opens up the ski area if you're not interested in skiing the same piste twice.
Chamonix is a bustling cosmopolitan city essentially. It has your ski resort essentials, of course, but the town itself has a huge choice from Scandinavian après bars (Chambre Neuf) to sophisticated wine bars on the river (we love Bar des Moulins).
Chamonix is one of the best resorts in the world for off piste skiing. From the infamous Vallée Blanche to a whole host of lesser known epic routes. You can hit the Vallée Blanche for around €90 per person with a guide or get a full days off piste guiding in for your group of 6 for €500-ish including minibus transport and technical gear (think transceivers and harnesses).
Chamonix is amazing for intermediates with 42% of the pistes being blue. You have largely gentle runs above Le Tour which links with open and woodland bowls around Vallorcine, a picturesque village in a beautiful valley just before the Swiss border. There are the sunny slopes of Flégère linked to Brevent and accessible from town. Les Grand Montets is the most well known area 9km up the valley just above Argentière offering the toughest skiing and normally the best snow. On the eastern end of the valley you have the often overlooked Les Houches, great for beginners, tree skiing and oddly fresh powder after snowfall as most head up to the higher reaches and pass over the area.
Chamonix’s ski areas are seamlessly linked via the bus system. You can also drive and park at the ski areas but the bus is the easiest way as it’s included on your lift pass and stops outside most hotels and residences. It runs regularly, especially during peak times (mornings and afternoons) and it’s easy enough to follow the timetable - just download it on your phone.
