Chamonix lies in the shadow of the stunning Mont Blanc, the highest mountain in the Alps. Here, skiers can explore an almost endless ski area in the Evasion Mont-Blanc region with the Ski Pass Mont Blanc. Chamonix proper also has a collection of diverse neighbouring ski areas. One of the main attractions of this area is, of course, the off-piste route through the Vallée Blanche, which can take more than four hours to complete and will leave you in awe of this majestic region. A must for all competent skiers on their ski holidays in Chamonix!

Chamonix is made up of almost a dozen smaller ski areas that offer nursery slopes, World Cup pistes, challenging off-piste routes and everything in between. The smaller ski areas - Brévent, Flégère, Balme Vallorcine, Grands Montets, Les Houches, Vormaine, Poya, Chosalets, Planards, Savoy and Tourchet - combine to offer around 150km of pisted ski runs. Chamonix's ski area is also part of the Ski Pass Evasion Mont-Blanc area, with access to 490 individual ski runs. In addition to the skiing in Chamonix itself, with the appropriate ski pass, you are able to ski or snowboard in the other Ski Pass Mont Blanc ski resorts of Argentière, Combloux, Le Tour, Les Contamines, Les Houches, Megève, Passy Plaine Joux and Saint-Gervais. Make sure you take your ski map with you!
