The Resort
Chamonix is often preceded by its own reputation. As one of the most famous ski resorts in the world, it has visitors travelling from all corners of the world to experience the epic runs year after year. The Chamonix town centre, also known as Chamonix-Mont-Blanc, is an endlessly inviting little city with enough going on to entertain skiers and non-skiers alike for weeks on end. For those travelling from the UK, it is fabulously easy to reach. You can drive straight from Calais by motorway and be set up in a gorgeous chalet in less than half a day.
The Chamonix Valley encompasses five main ski areas on four different mountains (with easy transfers in between). You can get yourself a single-resort lift pass or one that encompasses the whole valley. If you go with the latter option you’ll even have access to the Italian side of the valley in Courmayeur. The wider area encompasses 106 pistes at up to 3842m altitude and unparalleled off-piste runs.
Most of Chamonix’s ski areas are best suited to those who already feel at home on a pair of skis. Beginners definitely won’t get as much out of this valley as those who are comfortable tackling a black run. But that’s not saying Chamonix is unromantic by any means. There is incredible scenery for everyone to enjoy, from non-skiers to experts, and nature lovers will fall in love with the Chamonix in summer too. Ski season, however, often lasts until mid-March.
Once the skiing is over at the end of the day you’ll still find plenty to keep you occupied in town. There is an excellent selection of restaurants to choose from, ranging from Michelin starred fine dining to street food that will line your stomach for the après-ski (and rest assured there are dozens of great bars and clubs to choose from!)
Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesChalet Gisele’s magical alpine setting in Le Tour will delight younger visitors, with the captivating views of Mont Blanc encouraging them to spend plenty of time outside in the chalet’s spacious garden. During the winter season, the Chamonix Valley ski resort caters for young children, teenagers and everyone in between! Specialist ski schools offer first-time skiing lessons to children ages three years and older, with kids’ clubs providing a wide variety of activities, while toddlers can enjoy the powder-soft snow of the valley’s gentlest slopes.
Winter
Many ski hire shops in Chamonix rent family-friendly sledges, which can be taken to the Prarion Plateau in Les Houches or the dedicated ski area at Les Planards. Les Planards also offers families a thrilling evening experience under the starry night sky, with an alpine rollercoaster twisting and turning along a 1,300m winding track, whizzing through the snow-covered forest! An adult must accompany children under the age of eight on this particular adventure.
After a sunny morning spent enjoying the exciting challenges that new slopes bring, older kids may wish to try something a little different in the afternoon. The Deluxe Igloo and Fondue Adventure gives them the opportunity to sledge along a three-kilometre track in the Swiss forests near Chamonix, followed by a hike to a snow igloo for an evening of delicious cheese fondue.
Summer
Warmer weather also brings a treasure trove of outdoor activities for children to enjoy in the French Alps, including a fantastic ziplining adventure in the forests of the Accro'Park in Les Gaillands, approximately twenty minutes away from Chalet Gisele by car. The Mont Blanc Equestrian Centre is open all year round, offering families the chance to discover the wonders of the valley on horseback, while hiking and mountain biking trails provide unforgettable views of the mountains. Later on, return to your cosy home in Le Tour in time for a delicious dinner and a night of stargazing on the balcony. Everyone will be sure to sleep soundly after another day of fresh air and adventure!
