We loved it, it was really good. We felt like we really lucked out, or lucked in on that – definitely lucked out on the weather. Also if you are fortunate enough to get into the part with panoramic views (not afraid of heights), then it’s a great view right above the street level with panoramic views and you... + more

The legendary 17km Chamonix Valley is located in the north-west Alps nearby the Swiss and Italian borders. Set at the foot of the stunning Mont Blanc and surrounded by breath-taking views of the Mont Blanc massif, this town is not only one of the most beautiful places in the Alps (it's one of the most Instagrammed ski resorts in Europe) but also offers fantastically diverse skiing and snowboarding experience. It's said to be the world capital of mountaineering and skiing, functioning as a holiday destination all...
Having hosted the first-ever Winter Olympics in 1924, Chamonix is a Mecca for advanced skiers worldwide (even James Bond was here in The World is Not Enough). There really is an endless amount to discover, especially for the more capable. For the ultimate in alpine adventure, get a guide, clue up on avalanche safety, and you'll have an unforgettable experience. Because of the superb advanced terrain, it's often wrongly assumed that Cham' serves novices poorly. There are 4 great beginner areas: one in the to...
Not only world-famous for its terrain, but Chamonix also has renowned après ski too with a vibrant atmosphere to soak up after a day on the hill. Spend an evening at chic Le Privilege, sample the amazing cocktails at Clubhouse or enjoy tasty food and lively evenings at The Jekyll or Micro Brasserie. There are some great fine-dining venues for serious culinary indulgence, including Michelin starred Auberge du Bois Prin and Albert 1er. Good Italian restaurants in Chamonix include l'Impossible, and there are lots ...

"We loved it, it was really good"

5/ out of 5
We loved it, it was really good. We felt like we really lucked out, or lucked in on that – definitely lucked out on the weather. Also if you are fortunate enough to get into the part with panoramic views (not afraid of heights), then it’s a great view right above the street level with panoramic views and you could lie down on it at a 45% angle. The hotel was really nice and we only used it for breakfast, but again, it was lovely. Lots of choice and it sets you up nicely for the day. I suppose given where we've been fortunate enough to ski before, I'd say that apart from the weather, the biggest sort of let down for us is having to get on a bus. Normally we've been able to walk to a lift or something, but in Chamonix you really need to get on a bus to get to the different ski areas like Argentiere or Brevent or Le Tour. With a little bit of local knowledge, you can attack things a little bit differently and use the bus system much better. The only other thing again with local knowledge, is knowing that you need to book the time slots for the spa treatments at reception, you can’t just turn up and go in. The other nice touch is that you’ve got countless sweets like Haribo at reception and my son was going nuts for that!
