About Chamonix

Chamonix is peaceful yet exciting, traditional yet modern and upper-class yet hugely laid back. Or in other words, it’s the total package that ticks all boxes and then some. In terms of skiing, Chamonix has all bases covered like nowhere else on Earth, with runs ranging from the best possible nursery slopes for beginners to what is officially the best vertical drop served by a ski lift anywhere in the world. And as far as après-ski goes, this is a place that goes way beyond its reputation to offer so much more than you could possibly imagine. Chamonix is impossible to sum up in just a short passage, but suffice to say whatever you’re looking for is waiting for you there!
