Skiing In Chamonix
The birthplace of alpine history and home to the magnificent Mont Blanc- at 4807m Europe's highest mountain - Chamonix boasts a superb snow record, a long season (Dec-May), unrivalled off-piste skiing, and views to die for. Indeed Chamonix has an international reputation as having some of the most spectacular, challenging and exhilarating skiing and boarding available anywhere in the world.
The Chamonix valley is both huge and daunting, and that's before we figure in the neighbouring resorts. The Mont Blanc lift pass covers 8 local and 13 regional ski areas with terrain up to 3840m, over 200 lifts and 700km of piste - with the majority of the ski areas being above 2000m. It caters for all standards, from beginners right through to experts. Visit our ski areas page for an in depth look at each of the major areas: Brevent, Flegere, Les Grands Montets, Le Tour, Les Houches and the Aiguille du Midi.
