The Skiers' Guide to Les Contamines Montjoie

Overall I spent a whole week skiing at this resort. I had a magnificent experience as the weather was amazing. The lifts were efficient and the on piste restaurants were high quality m. During my stay I had lessons in the morning with a ski instructor named Antoine. My level sky rocketed as a result of my excellent instructor and I was able to ski black runs very well by the end of my stay. The shuttles that take you from the village to the ski resort were great. Overall I highly recommend this ski resort and will definitely be returning in the future.

We've been repeat visitors to Les Contamines for a number of years. It's a family friendly resort without the big name, price tag or visitor numbers!
We love the sunny slopes and wide pistes, and as a mixed ability family there's plenty of options for all of us to have fun.
There are strong restaurant options both around the mountain and down in the valley. The ice rink is a firm favourite activity for an evening or quieter ski day.
The ski bus takes you around the town and to the 2 main bubbles that get you up to the pistes. It gets busy at peak times so it's worth planning your ski days to minimise queueing.

Les Contamines is probably my absolute favourite resort in the Chamonix/ Haute-Savoie area. You can't beat it in terms of size, views, thrilling blue/black runs and the ski down to the car park when the snow is good is one of the best I've ever done. Plus the tartiflette at the La Ferme du Ruelle restaurant is one of the best ever.
