chamonix mountains

chamonix is one of the largest piste areas in Europe, a range of mountain areas open up to all different levels and there is something for everyone. The mountain ranges are a distance apart but the best bus service in Europe links them for free with your lift pass and no ski area is more than 15 minutes awat by bus or 10 minutes in a car.

Les Grand-Montets 3300m

Some of the steepest drops and part on a Glacier this is one spectacular mountain. Just to look at or take a ride to the top gives you an experience of a life time but to ride from top to bottom takes one strong pair of legs.

Wide long slopes appeal to all from beginners to the most advanced rider and skier and the off piste is legend on the good days. Great little areas for freestyling and natural jumps and half pipes make this a fun day out.

Le Brevent and Le Flegere 2525m

The closest slopes to Chamonix town centre, they are easily within walking distance or a few minutes on the bus service. South facing slops make this a great area for beginners and the lift link system makes it a large piste area for all standards.

Great for freestylers and advanced riders with a choice of great rollers and natural hips and jumps, add the sun and a great lift system and you have a freeride haven.

Le Tour

At the bottom of the valley Le tour is great for beginners and experts alike, great blue runs for the less advanturous and expansive off piste arears for the more experienced.

Le Tour can be a great place to start your off piste skiing and snowboarding with a choice between and close to the main pistes.

Le tour has a fun red run to the bottom of the mountain great for just sitting back and feeling the wind.

Vallee Blanche

This is a legendary run from the top of the Aiguille de Midi to the Chamonix valley below. A 20 KM off piste ski and snowboard area that is unpisted and unmanned. A guide is essential as the dangers associated with this run are of the highest nature.

The tour starts by taking the cable car to the top of the Aiguille du Midi at 3842m and then a 20km run to the valley below through some of the most stunning scenery in the world.
