Great resort with many options for different levels and a cute town. Cant wait to visit again some other time

Amazing experience, everything I needed was always a walk away, the ski hire was helpful and in a good price range and the lifts were amazing when the queues died down, would recommend to beginner skiers or advanced as it has everything.

Great power love the resort would go again and will be planning too in the next couple of years. Love to ski

Loved Chamonix! A must visit for any skier who loves adventure, breathtaking scenery and world class terrain.

Free ski bus if staying in the valley. Can be crowded , choose to go early. I can recommend Poco Loco for a good takeaway. Irish Bar ,good value drinks and food with friendly staff. Blame levtour was our favourite area as beginners. Time to practice lower down before attempting higher slopes.

I stayed in Chamonix, which is an hour drive from Geneva Airport. Had a fantastic time, went skiing, tried helicopter tour, ate at a nice restaurant and tried the casino.

Great slopes, if you get the full pass to all of the mountains! Otherwise a bit limited. weather changeable.

Some amazing terrain for the more advanced snowboarder and some of the best off piste in the Alps. The town of Chamonix has some great spots for Apres and lots of great restaurants.

Second time in Chamonix - overall I'm probably not a good enough skier to fully appreciate this resort! That is to say if you're looking for hundreds of kilometers of piste and ski in ski out this is not the place. But you probably know this already if you're considering Chamonix. The off piste is world class (even if the small bits I did were also scary), the town is nice considering how big it is. The buses can be a pain compared to ski in and ski out but it's not the end of the world and fun to be able to structure your week around skiing in different areas.

Chamonix is no doubt an advanced resort, but it caters for all levels and abilities. My wife who loves to ski “cruisy blues” had a great time and we got to ski so much together. together.
The bus systems allows you to easily ski different areas very easily.

Apres ski can be chilled or lively depending on what you want. We enjoyed sitting on the deck of the La Folie Douce Hotel admiring Mont Blanc in the sunshine. A perfect way to end the ski day.

Excellent resort with amazing piste and off piste options

We come here every year and have done for the last 25 years! Have tried other resorts but this is still our absolute favourite

The most beautiful resort! Great for intermediate and advanced skiiers. Too many runs and areas to choose from. The bus from lift to lift in the valley is regular, but can sometimes become very busy. Snow at the bottom of the valley can also be a bit weather dependent but much more reliable if you travel up!

Great Place for restaurants and bars.
Suggest Atmosphere for dinner.
Slopes not for beginners, but really good for advanced skiers and snowboarders.

Chamonix is the best, so much variation and the best runs for intermediate - advanced skiers with the best off piste place
Couldn’t recommend more

Chamonix is great! There are four different areas (not linked) so you need a car if you really want to see it all. Brevent and Flegere are the busiest as they are closest. However, Les Houches, le Tour and Grand Mountian are excellent and offer varied off piste for the advanced skier. There is also the option to drive under Mont Blanc to get to Courmayer. The main part of town offers a lot of shopping but expensive. Enjoy and keep ridding!!!

Great options across the valley. Parking is challenging at weekends, but was fine in the week. Demanding terrain and fresh snow made for excellent few days away with a friend in an impressive beautiful resort / town. Definitely recommend to experienced skiers if you’ve never been. Get it on your list!

Some areas are great when quiet but there are various bottlenecks with merging runs, with people racing down reds and taking out learners

Really beautiful ski resort with plenty of scenic blue runs through trees for less confident skiers / families. So much mountains to cover with one pass and cheaper than val disere! Would recommendx
