Chamrousse is a smaller family oriented station. With around 70km of pistes; mainly alpine with a nordic domain too.

There is a good range of pistes, from beginner greens to olympic blacks,

A very good ESF ski school, and many independant instructors, it is a great place for families and skiers of all levels.

Had a lovely time at Chamrousse with my dad, it was my first time snowboarding and the slopes were perfect. Not too busy apart from the weekend which still left enough space on the slope. Had a great powder day as well.

Took the family (2 parents and 1 child of 10) for the week. Resort was beautiful, plenty of slopes to choose from with a good availability of options for mixed ability. Our group was beginner to intermediate and we all had suitable options to keep us interested and active for the week on the slopes. Would recommend
