Chamonix Piste Information

One of the world’s best-known ski resorts, Chamonix has a reputation for offering stunning mountain scenery as well as some seriously challenging skiing and boarding. The resort boasts the world’s biggest lift-served skiable drop – a staggering 2807 metres – and one of the world’s longest runs. The latter takes skiers in Chamonix over 13 miles through the beautiful Vallée Blanche. Winter sports enthusiasts on a ski holiday in Chamonix will find the scenery as invigorating as the on-slope activity – the resort sits at the foot of the mighty Mont Blanc Mountain, Western Europe’s highest peak. The town itself is lively and full of character, with excellent après-ski, and attracts thousands of repeat visitors each year.
