The Chamonix Valley as a Ski Resort

A little more than an hour's drive (88km) from Geneva airport, the Chamonix Valley has an enviable position on the French, Swiss, and Italian borders.

Working up the valley, the main towns include Les Houches, Les Bossons, Chamonix, Les Praz, Argentiere, Le Tour and Vallorcine.

Les Houches has its own ski resort and is most suitable for beginners and intermediates. Both the Brevent and Aiguille du Midi (off-piste only) lifts are accessible from Chamonix town. The Brevent lift system is interconnected with Flegere which is also accessed from Les Praz. Argentiere is home to the Grands Montets lift system which caters mainly for advanced skiers and snowboarders. Further up the valley the Le Tour / Vallorcine lift systems are interconnected and offer intermediate skiing. You'll find amazing off-piste skiing everywhere, but no stay in Chamonix would be complete for experienced skiers without a descent off the Aiguille du Midi (you should take a guide).
