Ski areas in Chamonix valley

30 km of pistes

These 2 ski areas have been linked by a cable and offer one of the most outstanding panoramas of the Alps.

To advise the morning, south-facing slopes with a wonderful variety of pistes and enviable views over the Mont-Blanc Massif.

Brévent is the ski area close to Chamonix center

My favorite: "Crochues" at the end of the field of Flégère, "Lachenal" is not bad either.

30km of pistes near Argentière

Aspect North, In the shadow in the morning

Top of The Grands Montets accessible only with the Mont-Blanc Unlimited (Chamonix Le Pass: + 10€). Reservations recommended.

From the summit one has a spectacular 360° view.

Must-ski: don't miss the superb Point de Vue black pite that runs alongside the Grands Montets and finishes at the bottom of Argentière Glacier.

To do only in good weather.

Aaccess by train from Chamonix, stop : Vallorcine railway station. Transportation is free for Guest Card holders.

My favorite:« Belle place » to Vallorcine from La tête de Balme

The Valley Blanche is accessed via the Aiguille du Midi cable car.

This mythical mountain off-piste route is not marked and not made safe, to do with a guide.
