The Skiers' Guide to Chamrousse

Living locally we visit every week-end. Well managed groomed runs, family friendly, and a great mixed rangé of slooes.

Good resort, great park, decent off piste options. Was very quiet when we went. Groomed runs were fun and we got a big dump of snow with some knee deep powder. Not a huge resort and maybe a bit boring for very advanced skiers but perfect for intermediate and begginer who want to push themselves or just chill out on the greens. Plenty of good skiing for a week, would recommend.

Great holiday with the family, everyone enjoyed it, queuing at the lifts was minimal and apartment was excellent.

Lovely quiet resort even at the weekend. Fairly small but well maintained. Perfect for a short break when staying in Grenoble

Great ski resort super affordable would go back again. Easy for beginners like myself and my friends would highly recommend

Been a keen skier for forty plus years - needed a good selection of learner runs for my 2.5yr old grandsons first ski trip. What chamrousse gave us was, excellent pistes, friendly people everywhere. Quiet slopes and a huge variety of snowy activities - restaurants were superb. We appreciated that the village was mostly French visitors too. Supermarkets had wonderful selection of fresh food and gorgeous wines, without elevated prices. We have been super lucky with the snow conditions this year. Even the locals said it was exceptional. Skiing with my tiny grandson we aimed for many of the blue slopes however some were definitely reds masquerading as blues. Highly recommend

Quiet resort but very friendly good ski school
Not for people who want lively apres ski
Accommodation reasonable but not many companies visit so will need to arrange transport can fly and bens bus do transfers

Is a great resort but very small. One bar “kaydogs” and also only a few restaurants but very nice was welcomed everywhere and the only English on the resort everyone was French. Their is a glacier but that was closed due to the high snowfall for majority of the 5days so spent most of the time in the snow parks and off-pist next to the slopes in the powder areas, resort was great for both of these. Glacier opened on the final day and was great much larger ski area then expected up at the top and a great black run from the glacier to the bottom of resort. Views from the resort over chamoney where great

Good transport from Grenoble airport. Perfect place for people who are looking mostly tovpewnie the time on the slope. Variety of different kind of pistes, from green to black ones. Highly recommend.

Chamrousse is not a huge resort but has a good variety of slopes. It is a very family friendly resort and is relatively quiet in the evenings so if you want to party hard is probably not for you. We were there at Christmas and despite thevamfact it hadn’t snowed for several weeks they had done a great job of keeping almost all the pistes open using artificial snow where they could.
We’ve been may times and always enjoy it, I recommend the Taverne des Gaullois at Roche de Béranger 1750 for food and drink and the lovely people who run it!

Really lovely resort. Ski in ski out accommodation and the levels link up well with a reliable bus service.
Slopes are well laid out and the lifts ran well. Beautiful scenery and good food on the slopes.
We will be back!

Simple resort, exceptional value for money, easy to access with a bus service from Grenoble, has a good range of slopes and pistes for the size of the resort would recormend to begginers to intermediates

I’ve been going to Chamrousse for almost 10 years now and every year it never disappoints even though we usually go towards the end of the season. We still get a great amount of skiing in each year and the slopes are easy to navigate. They have great additions like the zip wire over the slopes and a short mountain coaster which is great fun. Lots of shops including sport shops and souvenir shops with great options to eat out at each ‘village’

Great resort, especially for beginners but there's terrain for everyone. Really easy to get to from the motorway as well.

Hit and miss fir snow- had great snow and awful snow- if it's awful then it's pretty impossible to have a good time. However in good conditions it's a fun and friendly resort great for families.
Self catering is the best option with decently priced apartments near the piste.
If you can go last minute and check snow its worth a trip- lots of fun to be had off piste through trees.

Chamrousse is a great resort with lots of different pistes for all different abilities. Went here with a mixed ability group, and everyone from beginner to those who have been skiing their whole lives didnt get bored. Have to say though that it gets pretty busy over the weekend, but during the week you have the slopes to yourself.

Resort is split between accommodation areas but there's a free bus between them. Pistes are great - super variety and length, and easy to avoid drag lifts if they're not your thing. There are some fun non-ski activities such as the zip line, sledging, hanging bridges etc. Not a lot of choices for restaurants (I needed to self cater due to nowhere having allergen info) and no big fancy hotels - this is a small, relatively quiet resort. Does have a clinic for x-rays and casts if you end up injured, lovely firemen and fabulous pharmacy staff! Hope to return for a less dramatic visit sometime!

Fairly expensive but for a ski resort probably normal. I had a ski school lesson here and I enjoyed it. The snow was pretty good, they had a range of runs and ski lifts were quite empty and smooth

I chose this resort because I was sick of paying a fortune to stay in disgusting accommodation in the bigger ski areas. We werent expecting the pistes or the park to be amazing, so we were pleasantly surprised that there was good piste skiing (although I think after 5 days of only pistes, advanced piste skiers would get a bit bored). The highlight looks like the touring from and around Lac Robert. There were some nice off-piste options for non-climbers too (we didnt have touring gear, so couldnt walk too far). Good new black runs off the top of the highest peak (where the one bubble lift goes), with a couloir to rival Courcheval. Park is pretty good plenty of features and well maintained. We stayed in Bachat, which is heaven for families with young kids. Absolutely loads for kids to do. Lovely beginner slopes. Also very very beautiful skiing with lots of trees and fun off-piste tree runs when the snow is good. Would recommend for anyone looking to spend less for more comfortable accommodation, who doesnt care about skiing loads of different pistes.

Good resort, enough skiing for a week but limited apres. Very family friendly and affordable. Would recommend if you're looking for a budget friendly trip and want to relax in the evenings.
