Chamonix - Community Reviews & Ratings

Skiing in Chamonix was ok, we loved the town centre as there was loads going on. The ski areas arent connected which makes covering ground quite difficult

Chamonix has excellent skiing and boarding and offers an all round winter sports holiday. The town of Chamonix has a wide range of accommodation types, shops, bars and restaurants. There is a choice of entertainment, sporting and leisure activities to suit most tastes. The Brevent ski area is accessible from the town centre, while other ski locations are available along the Chamonix valley. The Grand Monet has a wide range of challenging slopes to satisfy the most experienced while Les Houches is ideal for family skiing and has a dedicated beginners area. All the ski areas are either a cable car or a gondola ride from the bottom of the Chamonix Valley and provide spectacular views. Chamonix has been welcoming winter sports enthusiasts for over a century . It is a relaxing town with friendly inhabitants and retains much of its original charm. Visitors will not be disappointed.

First time in Chamonix. Very snowboarder friendly. Food options in town were really good and varied. Apres felt disjointed, more of a night out after going home to change eg very few bars with ski/snowboard stands outside. Lifts were excellent, and pistes were fun. 11 year old son tried ski school/1to1 instructor, and progressed well from it

Extensive immaculate pistes. Lots of choice for accommodation. Long ski lift queues in peak season. Easy transport links.

Interesting resort in the area under Mont Blanc. Few different slopes but some lifts you need to visit by car or local transport. Epic one is the descent Vallee Blanche. It is 23 km long and vertical drop is 2800 metres. Slope descents from Aquille de Midi to Montenvers-Mer de Glace to Les Planards. When is good weather you have one of best views in Europe. Mont Blanc is really gem compered with Matterhorn. I think that once a life is necessery to visit this special route. Goood Luck.

Great resort despite lifted elevation being a bit low so can struggle for quality snow. From the midi amazing snow and steeps but must be a v good skier unless skiing valle Blanche. Great night time ski too

We went as a big group, the skiing was decent quality particularly on piste, maybe would be better off piste is there was fresher snow! Night life was fun and the accommodation was good. Very pretty resort!

Great snow when I went, many runs and a lot of interesting terrain, the only problem was the amount of time it took to get too and from each resort, however, with frequent buses, youre at no risk of being left stranded. Beautiful village, I highly recommend checking it out.

Been going for many years off piste never fails to impress. Several resort ski areas in easy reach by bus train or car.italy close via mont blanc tunnel. 1hr transfer fro. Geneva air port. Chamonix is a vibrant town full of fun .good shopping and restaurants. Glacier skiing available + vallee blanche

Im from Canada, it was as reasonable to ski in Europe as it is in Canada. Great atmosphere for all types of skiers.

Great report for skiers of all abilities, well maintained and groomed pistes. Great options for food and drinks during the days. Plenty of resort support in attendance. Apres ski can be small bars such at Le Petit Social next to the main lifts or one of many in the main town. Great bus service throughout the resort and linking to other nearby resorts if a change of scenery if wanted.

There a several ski areas in Chamonix, only 2 are linked by lifts, therefore you need to drive or use public transport to get between them. The buses are sometimes too full to get on. The views are amazing, the skiing can be too. The town is great for non-skiers.

The ideal place for managed off piste and escaping crowds. Easy day trips for Italian mood food are the added bonus you didnt know you needed.

Massive variety of levels. TAKE the car if possible as area connections via bus are not the best.Respect the mountain and others enjoying it

I had an amazing time with my family this past Christmas in Chamonix. The weather was great, food was amazing and skiing super good. Would definitely recommend and would love to come again!!

I stay in one of the hostels, it's a great way of meeting like minded people. Great places to eat in town, my favourite was Poco loco for burgers and the Brockoletti for the Tarte fleet.If the weather is looking poor, you might want to buy lift passes each day, that gives you the option to go to the lower area of lez hooches for a day.

Best ski experience ever! Vallée blanche was amazing!The food, people and everything was over the top!

Stayed and skied un Les Houches. Great ski resort for me and my son. My son had never skied before and the pistes were perfect for him to learn as well as having enough difficult for me to enjoy. Very friendly resort and not busy. Plenty of links to other resorts also.

Not the tallest but great options for offpiste. 5 resorts in one area. Need to bus to most resorts depending where youre staying.

Loved my time in Chamonix! We had a group of 20 with every skier at different levels. Sometimes we would get together after our lessons and have fun skiing together. I loved apres ski and partying in the chalet after and having a lovely spa evening to relax our calves also. Just wholesome in every way imaginable.
