Chamonix Resort in France

Whether you love it or hate it, everyone tends to have an opinion about Chamonix. This is a truly fantastic resort, with its position next to Mont Blanc, beautiful scenery, a beautiful town, the Vallée Blanche, off-piste terrain to test the very best and the Grands Montets in Argentière. They'll tell you the nightlife rocks, there are plenty of good restaurants, things to do all year-round and it's just over an hour from Geneva airport. In short, why go anywhere else?

Chamonix' is mainly for more advanced skiers, so beginners might feel left out. The guides at Chamonix are all professionals and are well worth hiring one if you are inexperienced, especially if you want to try some of the harder tracks.       

Chamonix is very much a site for the type of people who are good at skiing, but don't be put off if you are a beginner. You can still have lots of fun! It is a good challenge if you are a good skier though. You can show off to your friends your excellent talent on a ski resort with real mountains!
