Fantastic ski area which caters for all levels of skier. Stunning scenery and perfectly groomed slopes considering there hadn't been a lot of recent snow. Great thing was that most of their blue and red runs were at top of mountain which meant runs were in tip top condition. Blue skies all week helped make it a super trip. Lovely village which had all you need for a ski resort, will definitely be back soon

Les Contamines Montjoie is a beautiful place in the French Alps not far from the famous Chamonix, with green up to black level slopes, gondolas and lifts, basically good and reliable infrastructure. I've been there with my family in December 2025 and we were very happy about the experience. Lots of snow, with artificial and natural, amazing scenery. Highest point I've got to ski was around 2,500 meters and the views were absolutely unbelievable, above the clouds. We've stayed in a chalet, with decent accommodation, but pretty poor service and menu.

First time skiing in 20 years and it was an absolute blast. Brilliant views, amazing slopes and friendly people willing to help whenever you need. Didn't see as many bars as we wanted as we wanted as wanted to focus on skiing but definitely looking forward to experiencing more culture next time!
