Chamonix Reviews & Ratings

Best New Year’s Day ski I’ve had! Access to slopes via public transport second to none. Friendly locals willing to help where they can.

Chamonix in March outside the holidays was great with well groomed pistes in the morning. South facing slopes getting very cut up by lunchtime but plenty of options in the shade in Brevent.

Boarded in Les Houches, Brevent Flegere.
Suggest Flegere am Brevent pm
Les Houches ideal for beginners and getting your legs after a layoff.

Great resort, especially if you go with the Mont Blanc all access. Was there for a week and difficult to ski the same run twice if you go to all of the resorts! for off piste, le tour, grand montets and argentiere are the spots. Aguilar du midi if you are serious about off piste but you need a guide unless you are experienced enough.

Apres ski options on the slopes are generally limited compared to other resorts like Val disaire, but some great spots to go out late in Chamonix town. Lots of nice restaurants and bars too.

Access around the ski areas is great with free bus, although ski ubers are now available and very good to quickly move around the areas (for a price!)

for families, Les houches on recent-flegere is good, although there are better family friendly resorts in the alps. La plagne for example.

Overall, it is a pricey resort but worth it if you love to ski.

Went with a group of 8. The snow was great after first 2 days of heavy snow. Nightlife and places to eat out make Chamonix a great place to visit with friends or as a family.

Beautiful place for a first skiing holiday, i had a fab time and really felt like id improved a lot, runs for all levels

Went skiing with my wife, and had a fantastic experience at Chamonix. This was the last full week of the season in the UK Easter holidays, and we were surprised at how quiet the resort was. Really great variety of runs at different ski locations.

Not the most family friendly due to the need to get buses between the ski areas, but we had a generally good experience on the buses,

Amazing resort! Loads of accommodation nearby with easy bus transfers. The views are so scenic and breathtaking as you are in the middle of the valley. There are loads of options for food whether it’s more casual or fine dining.

Chamonix has it all! Lots of ski areas plus a fab town with great shops and restaurants. Great for a family we non skiers as lots to do.

We visited four of the main ski areas. We were with UCPA which was excellent and our instructor took us to the right locations for the conditions each day. My favourites were Les Grande Montets, Vallorcine and la Tour. Good variety but dispersed. I wasn't sure at first but soon came to appreciate all of it.

Chamonix has to be top of the bucket list for off piste skiing in Europe. The renowned Valley Blanche route from the famous Aiguille du Midi is just one of many varied guided routes and ski mountaineering options available as well as excellent piste skiing across it’s 4 main areas for all abilities from the family friendly gentle slopes of the Les Houches to the steep high altitude descents of Les Grande Montents. But chamonix is also a great town for non skiers so works well as a destination for family ski trips and multi generational holidays where some people might choose not to ski at all! There are loads of non skiing activities in and around chamonix town as well as fantastic spas and excellent eating out options for all budgets and tastes that expand far beyond the usual savoyard style restaurants available in most ski resorts. Non skiers can take the train up the montenvers railway to visit the Mer der Glacé glacier and ice caves - a bucket list experience in itself and one to do soon while it’s still possible!

Good fun affordable resort, gorgeous town to explore as well. Great mountains and runs. Lots of places to rent gear also

My partner and I have just returned from some Easter skiing in Chamonix and had a great time overall. We are intermediate skiers; we are skiing blues and reds comfortably, but haven't mastered black runs or off-piste yet. We were a little apprehensive after hearing that Chamonix is mainly suited to off-piste, expert level skiers, but we found that there was plenty of runs for our level, we had a lot of fun and improved our technique.

Chamonix town is incredibly picturesque and has plenty of apres-ski bars, great dining options offering a variety of Savoyard and international cuisines. It is important to note that the Chamonix ski areas are connected via bus, so navigating the resort requires a little more planning and effort than a traditional ski-in-ski-out resort. Having said that, it has a more residential feel than some other resorts and there are numerous options for non-skiers if you are planning a rest day or are travelling with non-skiers.

We visited 4 areas; Le Tour, Brevent, Flegere, Les Houches and Courmayeur in Italy which is included if you purchase the Mont Blanc unlimited ski pass. If you purchase this pass, it is the most extensive option and it includes a gondola trip to the Aguille de Midi. All ski areas we visited were suited to our abilities and the pistes were relatively quiet due to the time of year. The snow did become slushy in the afternoons as expected due to the time of year, so it is advisable to start early in the day. We skipped Les Grands Montets due to the area being renowned for being suitable for the more advanced skier and time constraints, but we will definitely explore this area next time.

Lovely resort, great lift efficiency and ski instructors are so much fun. Apres was amazing, only con is there isn’t really apres on the mountain

Lively resort, good mix of skiing to suit all. Easy to get to from Geneva so great for a long weekend away skiing!

First time to Chamonix, it was great, many areas to ski with a bus service which could’ve better, sometimes the buses didn’t even come

Great resort and very quiet at the end of the season. Accessible bus access in resort and stunning views!

Visited Chamonix mid March 2026 for 5 days. After not skiing for 10 years due to knee injury and subsequent surgery, coming to Chamonix was a skiing baptism of fire but I thoroughly enjoyed the challenge. A tough resort to ski for beginners/intermediate’s, more suited to advanced/off-piste skiing. Although the variety of resorts for all abilities in close proximity (all within 20/30 mins) via fantastic shuttle buses were excellent. Scenery was phenomenal and congestion on the slopes was minimal even at peak times. Would thoroughly recommend Chamonix and surrounding resorts to intermediate skiers or above!

Chamonix is a great resort. Very family friendly with great skiing, amazing apres and some lovely restaurants to finish the night in

Chamonix is really one of the best places I've been skiing in the last years. As I'm a beginner I had loads of options for my level. We got the early bird mont blanc ski pass and we could go use it for other resorts and you get discounts for ski hire and food. Chamonix has other activities to offer as well, like the Grotte de Glace (also included in the ski pass), the QC therme spa, you can go up the Auguille de Midi ( also included in pass),shopping, nice food. Really a great ski resort!

Awesome town with good bus service to gondolas. Good selection of shops and restaurants. Very friendly people everywhere.
