Its often said that almost everything
about the Chamonix Valley is different from a typical ski resort.
It has a reputation as an extreme skiing destination and, to a large
extent, that's deserved. But that's not the whole story. The
valley offers variety, there's simply a huge choice of on-piste, off-piste,
non-skiing pursuits to make your perfect winter holiday. And for
those wanting to spend a more relaxing time, there are many other more
laid back activities that don't involve adrenalin and a racing heart
beats! |

Skiing and snowboarding is by far the
most popular winter activity and the main reason the valley is so well
loved. Its equally a good place to extend your limits as it is to
learn the basics. Making the most pf the variety is the key to
skiing in Chamonix Valley. There are 5 main
ski areas and each one has its own individuality and its own
particular attractions. From the downhill rush and off-piste
challenges of Les Grands Montets to the great views and mellow blues and
reds of Le Tour. more...

the Aiguille du Midi to snowtubing with the kiddies at
Les Pélerins. What's snowtubing?

If there is one thing that everyone who
visits the Chamonix Valley agrees upon, its the incredible views and
outstanding beauty of the surrounding mountains. Its impossible
not to be impressed. But here's an interesting point, on the one
hand, only a tiny minority of the surrounding mountains are served
directly by the lift systems and, on the other hand, the huge majority
of skiers never stray far from the pistes. That means venturing outside
the pisted ski areas can take you to places of incredible tranquillity
and serenity. Whether the famous
22km Vallée Blanche decent
appeals or a cross country ski though the woodlands and around the lake,
off-piste activities are as varied as they are plentiful.
