Chamonix Piste Map

Best Runs in Chamonix

Chamonix isn't your typical piste-cruising resort - it's a legendary freeride mecca where off-piste rules and the marked runs often play second fiddle. That said, there are some proper belters on the piste map if you know where to look.

• Piste Verte des Planards (Green): A gentle nursery slope at Les Planards that's ideal for your first day on skis, offering a mellow gradient and plenty of space to find your feet.

• Savoy (Green): This easy green run at Le Tour provides beginners with a confidence-building descent and cracking views across the valley.

• Pylônes (Blue): A long, flowing blue from the top of Brévent that rewards intermediate skiers with stunning Mont Blanc views and consistent pitch for working on your carving.

• Cornu (Blue): Running down from La Flégère, this wide blue cruiser offers lovely tree-lined sections and feels more satisfying than your average motorway piste.

• Charles Bozon (Blue): A scenic blue run at Le Tour that winds through the trees with enough variety to keep things interesting without being overly demanding.

• Combe Lachenal (Red): This red run on Brévent delivers consistent steepness and usually holds decent snow, making it a solid choice for confident intermediates looking to push their limits.

• Noire des Planards (Black): A proper steep and often mogulled black piste that's great for honing your technique close to town at Les Planards.

• Stade de Slalom (Red): Located at Le Tour, this training piste offers a challenging fall line and is where the race kids practise, so expect firm snow and a proper workout.

• Verte des Houches (Green/Blue): The valley run at Les Houches provides a lengthy, scenic descent through the woods - perfect for building mileage and ending the day with tired legs in the best way.
