Chamonix Reviews & Ratings

Probably one of the most beautiful ski resorts in the world. Had the best day snowboarding I've ever had when I was here alone

Nice and quiet , no queuing for lifts .Aguila d midi to top of mt blanc is a must , you can ski it but its expert level only.

Air bnb is the way to go, great resort and runs but lots of walking. Need at least 4/5 days if you want to ski each mountain.

I live and work in Morzine and did a day trip to Chamonix at the start of the week. The views driving into Chamonix town were breathtaking. Super easy to park up and ski. Ski pass was free for us because we have the Port du soleil pass. Skiing was amazing - quiet pistes mid January, snow conditions so good, wide pistes and plenty of places to sit in the sun.

A fabulous all round Resort With great intermediate And advanced skiing and boarding. - On and off piste. Traditional alpine town, great après ski. Not ski in and out, a shuttle bus transports you up and down the valley to the different ski areas. Love it!

Each area can be done in a day. A bus service runs to connect you to them all. Notany tree runs but some nice wide runs with access off to big open spaces

The perfect resort for all abilities. A great variety of blue and red runs. From families to groups this place has everything. The town is a perfect mix of retail therapy and restaurants. Prices are reasonable and the likes of Folie douce hotel and Chambre Neuf are perfect apres ski venues for the most lively amongst us.

Epic resort - loads of areas to ski. Pretty expensive, but expected as its such a high profile resort. Well worth a visit.

Chamonix has its pros and cons. Its a Mecca for mountaineers and extreme skiing and its easy to see why. The back country access is second to none. If you want to climb the peaks or abseil into the couloirs around Mont Blank then this is the place for you. The ski fields are spilt up unlike most resorts in the alps and transport is needed to switch between them. Each offers something unique but are on the small side. A good skier will ski each within a day easily. The resort is known for its steep and deep skiing and its safe to say that some of the piste skiing is consistently very steep. Chamonix falls down on its transport options. These get you to and from each field and are essential use for a weeks skiing. The trains often only run once an hour and arent included in the price of the lift pass. (Make sure to let the conductor know you need a ticket as soon as you get on the train. Do not wait for them to come to you or youll get a fine.) The train stops also arent that close to the bottom lift so expect a walk wherever you go. The busses are truly shocking. Youre lucky if they come at all and when they do, they will be packed. Expect long queues and forget the schedule. Ive waited over an hour at a major stop that was supposed to have 3/4 busses come in that time. The best way is to have your own car but even then, expect a 20min journey to take over an hour sometimes due to traffic in peak weeks. If you want to get extreme and push your limits in the mountain then come here. If youre going to spend 75% of your time on piste then look elsewhere.

Unreal place for off-piste/backcountry skiing. Make sure you go with a guide though, there are tons of crevasses.

Chx is an amazing ski area if you have the ability to ski blacks (especially if you have the skill to enjoy off piste). Otherwise you may find the maps repetitive as therere a lot of ways that require you to be a good skier in order to travel between zones with out relying totally on gondolas or even worse, all the ski-buses!!

Pretty town with plenty to do for non-skiers. Average lift system, but the skiing felt limited after a couple of days without getting fairly long bus rides to other nearby ski areas. I wouldnt recommend this resort massively.

Everything from lodging, to restaurant, skiing and spas are amazing. Loving the vibe and the people.

Chamonix is a nice resort and plenty of different mountains to choose from. However, I felt that the mountains were quite disconnected and each individual mountain was quite small (with the exception of brevant and flegere). The main pro of this is there is lots of variety and you can go from one mountain on one day and be in another (maybe in a different country!) the next. Im somewhere between beginner and intermediate and felt that some of the mountains had very very few options for me; grands Montets in particular only had a few red runs that were appropriate The vallee Blanche was not open when we went but for people who want to do this famous off piste thats clearly a big plus of the resortOverall food is very good, but not a lot of options on each mountain

Follie douce is amazing on the weekend ! I very much recommend going. House music and lots of people, its an amazing experience. Lots of restaurants scattered around the slopes and a good variety of slopes everywhere.

Not one ski resort but many. These are accessed by ski bus. Good for experts. Lots of choices for eating out in the town.

I think the access to the ski areas is very easy to navigate and staff are helpful with any questions. We hired from Charmonix Ski and they are so friendly told you the best places to go for different ski levels.

We love Chamonix. I really like that the people who use this town as people serious about the mountains rather than the yobs that you get on mass in the bigger resorts. If you come to Chamonix, you are here to be fully submerged within the magic of this specular mountain range under the loom of mount blanc and her sisters. Its for serious mountain lovers, who enjoy eating wonderful food, accessing some of the best runs and want to get a good nights rest before heading out early. If you want lively après, do not come here!

I had mixed experiences skiing in Chamonix. Snow conditions were unfortunately below season averages and it was pretty crowded - but see how on a good year the resort would be great!

Absolutely incredible place and I would love to go again. Great for families and groups and beginners and intermediates
