Chamonix ski holidays boast views of Mont Blanc and some legendary off-piste terrain. Go skiing in Chamonix to explore 150km of slopes.
One of the great ancient Alpine capitals Chamonix ski resort boasts some of the best skiing and scenery in the Alps, with a large variety of runs and wonderful views of Mont Blanc. It is a popular destination for international skiers and is consistently rated as one of the top ten in the world thanks to its reputation as a truly bustling and exciting town.
Set at the foot of Mont Blanc, Chamonix ski resort is filled with an excellent array of shops, restaurants, bars and other activities to keep you occupied whilst you’re not skiing. Chamonix is a beautiful town and extremely appealing to the eye; you can look forward to a nice mix of cobbled streets, medieval church towers and traditional chalets.
Chamonix has a brilliant skiing area that is well suited to the intermediate and advanced skier. It should be noted that Chamonix is not a ski-in ski-out destination offering slopeside accommodation. The ski resort is comprised of six separate ski areas, which means that a bus service is required to travel between them. However, this is a small price to pay for the huge range of skiing which is then provided to explore, making the resort such a coveted destination for discerning skiers.

"Chamonix is a beautiful resort suitable for all levels of skiers (and non skiers), the facilities are excellent , La Folie Douce was brilliant as a one stop shop for all our needs making sure we maixmised the time skiing and having fun."
The ski area provides a fabulous 150km of downhill skiing accessed by 65 lifts. Chamonix ski resort is located at 1,035m, and with skiing going as high as almost 3,840m skiers can relax knowing that good snow cover will last all season long. Two of Chamonix's ski areas are linked together from the slopes, whilst the rest are separated along the length of the valley and are conveniently connected by an efficient bus service.
Being such a vast ski resort you'll find the right difficulty of slopes to suit all levels of skiing in Chamonix. Col de Balme, Le Tour and Vallorcine are gentle ski areas offering cruisey blues which are perfect for beginners. Les Houches is good for intermediates with long blue runs and a few steeper more challenging runs including Chamonix’s world cup downhill course. Advanced skiers and confident intermediates will want to check out the 20km of freeride skiing along the Vallée Blanche and the off-piste on the Grands Montets glacier.
Chamonix is a place of pilgrimage for the advanced snowboarder, with endless off-piste possibilities and on-piste runs which will push even the best boarders. Head to the Grands Montets glacier for a slice of the action where you will find an impressive fun park and half-pipe which hold regular competitions.
