Cutting through Mont Blanc, the Chamonix valley offers some of the most stunning views in Europe. The Valley connects a dozen slope areas all with different terrains and levels of ability and all covered on one Mont Blanc lift pass.
Chamonix tends to attract many advanced and off piste skiers from all over the World to its more challenging and wild landscape, but when the snow's good everyone can enjoy the many resorts all within easy drive/bus ride of each other.
You'll be based in Argentière which is a small but lively village nestled right under Les Grands Montets - the most snow sure of the resorts running from early December until May. The Hotel Les Grands Montets is one of the nearest to the lifts so you won't have far to go to start your skiing day. Les Grands Montets is famed for it's off-piste as well as the Pont de Vue, a spectaculr black run with excellent views of the glacier and its crevasses. The runs here are fair mix of reds and blacks with the odd blue so we would recommend this resort to intermediates and above.
If you fancy your skiing a bit more relaxed then La Flégère is a very short free ski bus ride away and offers lovely wider runs including blues and greens and some nice lunch spots. Beginners can learn at Le Tour which is also a short ride away and offers a good selection of easy runs. Whilst Le Tour and some lower nursery areas are perfect for beginners, it will mean you will be separated from the rest of the group during the daytimes and the nurseries are reliant on good snow. But the mix of resorts in the valley does offer good skiing for anyone that is beyond snowplough.
The three star Hotel Les Grands Montets offers one of the most comfortable stays of all our resorts we offer as the pictures above indicate.Beautiful rooms (standard or larger and stylish "mountain spirits" are available), indoor swimming pool and gym, sauna and steam rooms friendly bar and staff. Wi-fi access is available in the lobby and other communal areas and the hotel can also issue your lift passes to save queuing. The main Apres ski bars are also very close by!
Argentière is small but has an adequate amount of bars and some lovely restaurants as well as a typical French bakery and some nice shops. We recommend you do head into Chamonix Town Centre at least once during your stay which has quite a bustling nightlife.
