The Slopes:
Chamonix has a verity of slopes ready for any level of skier or snowboarder and ski passes suitable for each. For more advance skiers we recommend the Mont Blanc Unlimited ski pass which gives you access to 410km of pisted slopes and 124 lifts across 3 countries (France, Switzerland and Italy). The Grand Montets cable car gives you access to a massive free rider playground with a 2,000m vertical decent back to the village. A new 6-seat chairlift and a dedicated beginners area was developed ready for the 2018/19 winter season.
Accommodation:
There are accommodation options for all budgets in the lively town centre. Chamonix was the location for La Folie Douce’s first hotel which opened its doors ready for the 2018/19 winter. Situated in the former Savoy Palace hotel it will have a total of 250 rooms, 3 restaurants, spa, heated outdoor swimming pool and a après-ski bar with live Music and DJ’s.
The center of Chamonix is where the party is at with a seemingly endless choice of different bars to chose from to top off the epic days skiing. While there are bars located at the base of each of the different ski areas, however most of the action takes place in the center of town. Located in Chamonix Sud, the Monkey bar is the place to be for an apres-ski, with live music and a generous happy hour. From here you can go to any of the bar located around until 1:30am and if you are still looking to continue the party there is the Cantina club.
Chamonix is suitable for skiers and non-skiers alike, whilst not skiing the village offer a huge number of other activities including Helicopter tours ranging from 10-30 minutes, Husky sledding, Fat biking, wine tasting and a verity of gourmet restaurants to test your taste buds. Or if your idea of a good time is relaxing why not try one of Chamonix’s many spas.
