Chamoinx Ski areas are diverse and offer the skiing public some of tmost varied on and off piste available in Europe. Luxury catered chalet in Chamonix are a popular options but genuinely few and far between.
The authors view on Chamoinx ski areas for 2007/08 season.
Le Tour
The Domaine de Balme is the furthest ski area from our chalet at 15mins but is an area to spend your first days warming up. Excellent beginner facilities in the ‘la Vormaine’ area with 3 easy drag lifts and huge wide open gentle pistes. This is the best intermediate area in the valley with lots of interesting terrain both on and off piste. A great secret powder spot is the back side heading down towards Vallorcine. Great lunch tip is to head down to Vallorcine and eat local food at ‘les trois Ours’.
Chamoinx Brevent Flegere
Always in the sun! This classic area is the closest to Chamonix town centre with direct access via the Plan Praz telecabine. The pisted area is best suited to the intermediate at mid altitude and the higher you go the more challenging it becomes. The Charles Bozon piste from the top of the Brévent lift at 2500m is on of our favourites. For powder hungry folk head over to the Flégère area and hit the Index lift. The rolling and ever changing terrain from here down to the ‘le Trappe’ chair is truly awesome. For beginners ‘Plan Praz’ and ‘le Trappe’ areas are best to cut those first few turns.
