The Skiers' Guide to Chamonix

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.

We loved Chamonix, as an option for a long weekend of skiing. Plenty of runs, catering to all abilities.
Chamonix Central has many restaurants with lovely food options. We would recommend Poco Loco for their burgers!

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!
