Chamonix Mont Blanc has long-held a legendary reputation for first-class skiing and mountaineering, endorsed by its place as one of the ‘Best of the Alps’ named resorts. It is uniquely located close to Italy and Switzerland, giving easy access to fantastic terrain across 3 countries. It is also conveniently placed only an hour from Geneva Airport, making it an ideal destination for a flying visit!
The valley is dominated by the beauty of the Mont Blanc Massif whose surrounding peaks offer a varied selection of skiing, with the highest lift reaching 3842 metres. Despite popular myth that Chamonix is the terrain of experts only, the valley offers fun and exhilaration for all levels of skier and snowboarder. There are comprehensive beginner’s areas at the bottom of all the main lifts, and lots of relaxed blues and reds to cruise down.
