The Ski Resort

Chamonix-Mont-Blanc is one of the most iconic ski resorts in the world, set in the French Alps at the foot of Mont Blanc, Western Europe’s highest peak. It’s a dream destination for skiers, snowboarders, and mountaineers, with legendary off-piste tracks, impressive views, and a rich alpine history. The resort is home to a huge ski area with various zones, and with elevations reaching over 3,800 metres, Chamonix offers some of the best high-altitude skiing in Europe. Beyond skiing, the town is a lively mix of cosmopolitan culture, alpine charm, and après-ski fun, with mountain restaurants, stylish bars, and a range of activities from winter hiking to ice climbing.

The Ski Slopes

Chamonix is suited to skiers of all levels, with a variety of ski areas. Beginners and families will love Le Tour-Vallorcine, which features wide, gentle slopes and is perfect for cruisy runs. Intermediate skiers can explore Brévent-Flégère, for panoramic skiing and rolling pistes. And for those looking for a challenge, Grands Montets is famous for its steep descents, deep powder, and off-piste opportunities. The Vallée Blanche also provides a 20 km glacier descent that is a must for experienced skiers and freeriders. Snowboarders and freestyle skiers can also try out well-equipped snow parks, while cross-country skiing and ski touring routes provide visitors with additional adventures.

Après Ski

Chamonix is a bustling, vibrant town with a brilliant après-ski experience alongside its legendary slopes. The car-free town centre is full of character, with cobbled streets, historic buildings, and lively squares where locals and tourists gather. The streets are lined with cafés, bars, and restaurants, creating a welcoming atmosphere for a post-ski drink or an evening meal. Après-ski kicks off in the middle of the pedestrianised village, where bars fill up as skiers come down from the slopes. Chambre Neuf is a legendary après-ski spot with live music and a party vibe, while Le Pêle and Bar du Moulin offer a more laid-back atmosphere. For late-night fun, clubs like Club 1969 and Discopic keep the energy going. With scores of hotels, excellent restaurants, and a lively Saturday market, Chamonix has something for everyone.
