The Skiers' Guide to Chamonix

Amazing skiing and apres!! Some tough and challenging slopes and a lot of variety in options depending on desired difficulty. Would 100% go back!

Had one of my best afternoons boarding here! The town itself is amazing, lots of nice places to go out and eat. Stayed at La Folie Douce and that was great with an awesome cocktail bar upstairs and a club that was underneath.

Chamonix is a great destination for an intermediate- advance skier/boarder. It has lots of resort options around the village with good transport connections to other resorts such as Les Houches which is not far and also a great spot for some varied runs. The town is beautiful with great options for food, drink and shopping and there is a great selection of accommodation and ski hire. It is generally a bit more expensive and we felt that in the restaurants. I would 100% go back to Chamonix in the future as it ticks a lot of boxes.

I have skiied Chamonix since I was a child and it is a fantastic resort. The free ski bus up and down the valley to other location (Argentiere and Le Tour etc) is a great amenity. Skiing it self is challenging and varied.

The resort is breathtaking, with too much to choose from, in terms of what you want to be doing with your time. As you don’t have to just be skiing and snowboarding all the time to have a winter experience.

The views are astounding. & luxury is taken to a whole new level at Chamonix, as the food, accommodation & activities are something you won’t experience anywhere else!

Love chamonix as its only 1 hour from geneva. Great mix of difficulties both on and off piste. Loads of places to ear out, ok apres. Everything from lift passes to hotels and food are grest value.

Such a charming town with a lot to offer. Very pretty, traditional and friendly.

Many different ski areas for all skill levels, all accessible via short bus journeys.

Apres is good enough without being too over the top.

Plenty of restaurants, shops, and activities to fill your spare time with!

Skiing in Chamonix is amazing! The views are incredible and the weather always seems nice! Even in the middle of February you can enjoy your lunch on a terrace and you won’t be cold. There are a lot of other skiers but the slopes are large and there are so many to chose from!

Stayed in Les Houches with 3 kids who ski school excellent time had by all great place for family self catered great supermarket.

From beginners to expert- Chamonix has everything to offer. The glitz, the glam, the snow, the apres, for the old or the young, the skier/non skier it has something for everyone!

Loved Chamonix, went for my 30th birthday ski trip and it didn’t disappoint. So many different slopes to chose from, Le Tour was one of our favourites as we had advanced and beginners, the views were incredible and the food shack there was our favourite, would highly recommend the hod gods and waffles!

Would go back in a heartbeat!

As a skier from Aus on European slopes for the first time, this was amazing. The views, the snow and the apres!! Loved it

Chamonix is a fantastic skiing destination and the town has everything you need in terms of supermarkets, bars and restaurants. We skied mostly at Grands Montets which has challenging runs and was a lovely small resort to spend a few days in

Epic resort great for everyone included family friends beginners advanced chamonix has it all and the town is so beautiful lots to do lots to see fun for everyone.

More of a ski town than village/resort but great for adventure seekers. Not so good if you want classic chocolate box ski resort experience. Also not so good for families as the skiing is in few separate ski areas that don’t link and not all great for beginners. Scenery is beautiful though and I’d recommend the spa! Town has loads of accommodation and restaurant options. We have been a few times late in the season and combined skiing with some hiking as well as a bit of ski touring.

Someone was a great place to ski if you are beginner to intermediate. Particularly pleasant for families and holiday makers. Not so great for single advanced skier, wanting to go and carve.

Pretty good all round, quite pricey for average quality but the snow and the runs were absolutely fantastic!

A wonderful town to visit & enjoy in the snow. Great atmosphere, lovely restaurants, excellent shopping. Thoroughly enjoyed our visit

One of my favourite places in the world, summer and winter. Piste skiing is excellent if you think of Chamonix as a town surrounded by a number of smaller resorts that you take the bus to, that together form a huge ski area, as opposed to a ski linked resort like Tignes. Excellent base for a short ski break as transfers are frequent and cheaper than other resorts, and lots of accom available on shorter terms.

Great ski resort very friendly people had different runs including lovely blue ones which were very helpful learning to ski lift. All worked perfectly with nice restaurants dotted about.
