Chamonix - Mont Blanc
The Chamonix Valley is approximately 20 kilometers and nestled between the towering Mont-Blanc range to the south and the Aiguilles Rouges mountains to the north. The birthplace of mountaineering over 200 years ago, Chamonix is still considered the ultimate place to be for all those who share a love of nature and the mountains.
When you are looking for fun and adventure, you have come to the right place.
Chamonix caters to activities such as: skiing, snowboarding, telemarking, cross-country skiing, ski-touring, mountaineering, ice climbing, or snowshoeing. You can also visit the impressive indoor climbing wall in Les Houches or check out the Chamonix ice rink and sports centre. Chamonix is also a good place to relax, with its health centre, sauna, steam room or jacuzzi.

| General |
Ski the top of Europe! Chamonix Mont-Blanc and the Compagnie du Mont-Blanc offer unrivalled sensations for skiers and snow-boarders of all levels : sunny slopes, high altitude skiing in the major areas and accessible slopes on the valley floor for those beginning. Whether for beginners or advanced skiers, for family or for groups of friends, Chamonix Mont-Blanc has something for all winter sports lovers; from 3300 m down to 1035 m.
The Vallée Blanche (high mountain itinerary)
In less than ½ hour, the Aiguille du Midi cablecar takes you up to 3842 m for an unforgettable view of Mont-Blanc and the Alps - and to the starting point for the 22 km descent through the Vallée Blanche, a paradise for powder skiing. This is a high mountain itinerary and is neither marked or patrolled. We strongly recommend being accompanied by a mountain guide.
Les Grands Montets
Partially located on a glacier, 2100 m vertical drop, Les Grands Montets also offers 2800 acres of skiing possibilities both patrolled and off-piste. Longest run: 3233. Open from mid-november until beginning of May
Le Brévent / La Flégère (1095 - 2525 m)
Le Brévent is located on the sunny side of the valley and accessible directly from downtown Chamonix, offering a majestic setting facing the Mont-Blanc. It is also the domain of snowboarding and deep powder skiing. Two km up the valley is the village of Les Praz where La Flégère cablecar whisks you up to another south-facing network of lifts and runs. From its trails, enjoy an exceptional view of the Mer de Glace and the Mont-Blanc range. Ideal runs for ski-touring in spring. Since 1997, the Brévent and Flégère ski areas have been linked by a cablecar enabling skiers to take advantage of both mountains. |
| Cross-country Skiing | There are numerous well-groomed trails right in the heart of the valley for cross-country skiers of all levels. Two beautiful areas have been designated for cross-country skiing. One in Argentière and the other from the center of Chamonix to the village of Les Bois.
The trails are open from 9:00 to 17:00. The trails are groomed for both classical (alternative) and skating techniques and are marked in the following manner :
• green trail : Easy
• blue trail : Intermediate
• red trail : Difficult
• black trail : Very Difficult
A connecting trail through the small village of Le Lavancher (depending on snow conditions) makes it possible to go from one area to the other.
| | Skiing | Le Tour / Vallorcine (1480-2230 m)
At the northern tip of the valley, the long blue and green runs of Le Tour / Vallorcine make it the ideal choice for family skiing as well as for novice surfers.
Three new trails on the northern slopes (direction Vallorcine) take the skier down through several acres of pine and larch forest; doubling the variety of skiing and allowing for an exotic escapade into Switzerland, just next door.
