Ski Chamonix


Chamonix has been known for many years as the mountaineering and skiing capital of France.   The resort lies at the foot of Mont Blanc, which at 4807 metres, is one of the highest peaks in Europe.

People have been skiing in the snowfields of Chamonix since the late 19th Century and the remains of the ski jump built for the first winter Olympic games in 1924 can still be seen.

Today Chamonix incorporates tradition and a cosmopolitan atmosphere with a wide range of attractions and facilities.

There are modern shops, a cinema, casino, bars and nightclubs.   Chamonix also boasts an extensive sports centre with squash courts, an open air and indoor swimming pool, facilities for tennis, basketball and judo, a large artificial ice rink and a challenging climbing wall.

The top ski chamonix lift is 3300M and leads mostly onto glacier terrain, with a vertical descent of 1260m.   With your 6 or 7 day ski pass you have half free ski chamonix trip on the top cable car, there is a marked black piste , but a more interesting ski is on the Argentiere Glacier where there is both crevasse and avalanche danger so to get the best out of this run and take a guide for the half day and really enjoy the ski chamonix off piste on the Grands Montets.

Courmayer:
Just through the Mont Blanc Tunnel is the Italain ski resort of Courmayeur, not challenging ski-ing but a big wide open bowl and a great lunch, and when the weather is bad on the Chamonix side of Mont Blanc, then the sun is shining in Italy.

The Mont Blanc Tunnel will be open again this season and we will be taking people across for the day but there will be a charge to cover the tunnel cost. ski chamonix france with ski chalet ski chamonix
