What Skiers Say About Les Contamines Montjoie

Les Contamines draws mainly intermediate to advanced skiers and boarders, along with families seeking a quieter alternative to larger resorts. Reviewers consistently highlight uncrowded slopes, reliable snow cover at altitude, and excellent views of Mont Blanc. The terrain suits confident intermediates and offers accessible off-piste, though complete beginners may find connectivity limited. Most users note minimal nightlife and après-ski, with limited evening activity compared to bigger resorts. The resort is part of Evasion Mont Blanc but not lift-linked, requiring road travel to reach neighbouring areas.

Very "French resort", not known to most, makes for quiet slopes, fantastic skiing, and enjoy the local culture.

Christmas was magical!

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.

Beautiful area with exceptional views of the Mont Blanc massif. Family orientated resort, with mainly intermediate pistes
Easy access to mellow off piste, which stays untracked for longer than other nearby resorts
Some nice restaurants on the slopes

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!

Very quiet town, very little Apri or evening drinking.
Has around 140km of piste. Perfect for beginners and family’s as pistes are large and wide.
Can also access Evasion Mont Blanc domain in your lift pass.
This allows you to visit St Gervais and Megeve.

Excellent geography for families. Most runs end in a central point. Restaurants are scattered across the mountain, offering a variety of food. Those away from the lifts offer excellent quality and tasty food.

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.

Excellent family resort. Usually holds snow all the to Easter. Slopes are always uncontested and lifts are never a queue nightmare.

Night life is down the hill in Saint Gervais. Reachable by free shuttle bus or 10 minutes by car.

We have been skiing in Les Contamines since 1998 and it never dissapoints! Our children learnt to ski here as well. High enough to have snow all season, a good variety of slopes for all. Lovely restaurants to enjoy a well earned lunch or a beer at the end of a hard days skiing. Thank you Les Contamines for all the wonderful holidays!
