Chamonix

Chamonix offers a multitude of slopes for all levels, with each ski area having its own merit. Tremendously long slopes, skiing through the trees, free ride and off-piste, beginners slopes – there is an infinite number of possibilities for snow riders and mountain lovers alike.

The Chamonix Valley is nestled between the towering Mont Blanc range to the south and the Aiguilles Rouges Mountains to the north. It’s the place where the first Winter Olympic Games were ever held and worth visiting. It also offers the longest cable railway in the world. Chamonix is in a close distance to the highest peak in Europe – Mont Blanc (4807 m). The skiing area offers you about 150 km of ski slopes, with 30 km for advanced skiers, 70 km for intermediates, and 46 km for beginners. You will find the most difficult ride on Piste des Pylones. The Chamonix Museum has numerous themes presented by its impressively rich collection including the Chamonix priory, souvenirs of the valley form the 18th and 19th century, maps of the Mont Blanc range, catastrophes and rescue-work in the mountains.

Steeped in mountaineering and skiing traditions, the quaint village of Chamonix and the oldest ski resort in France, is a Mecca for advanced skiers who spend their time challenging the vast expanses of the off-piste terrain. The skiing is divided into five main areas, with the valley stretching from Les Houches at 1,000 metres to Les Tours at 1,460 metres, all linked by an efficient ski bus service.
