Ski area Chamonix
Whilst beginners will prefer to starts off at the Col de Balme or aong the southern slopes of La Flégère, the more experienced skiers can enjoy fantastic freeride opportunities and black pistes in the areas of Grand Montets and at Brévent. In winter 2018/2019, a new beginners area will be available in Grands Montets.
A real challenge is the "Piste de Pylônes" on Grands Montets: 3.5 km with an altitude difference of 1,300 m! A professional guide is highly recommended for ski tours. A snow park with various elements, a snow bowl and boardercross ensure absolute fun on Grands Montets.
Those who want more challenging deep-snow pistes - for instance in the legendary Vallée Blanche with its great 20 km of freeride pistes - should upgrade to the "Mont-Blanc unlimited" lift pass. With this lift pass you have access to approx. 870 km of piste, including unlimited use of the lifts in the Italian ski area Courmayeur, in Verbier in Switzerland or in the large ski area Evasion Mont Blanc.
Night skiing Chamonix
Embedded in the breathtaking ski region on Mont Blanc, night skiing is another highlight for winter sports enthusiasts. From Chamonix, the next night ski piste can be reached within approx. 8 km at the edge of the resort Les Houches, which is connected to the ski area Les Houches-Prarion. Family-friendly night skiing is possible here every Thursday, and the child-friendly, blue piste is available for night skiing from 20:00 to 22:00. Both Le Tourchet tow lifts can be used for free with a valid lift pass. On selected dates, torchlight skiing is organised on the practise slope. Mulled wine and hot chocolate is available during and after skiing fun at a special refreshment station.Après ski Chamonix
With a comprehensive sports and entertainment programme, even sports fans will get their money's worth. An artificial ice rink, public indoor pool, two tennis/squash courts, climbing hall, sauna and fitness centre offer sufficient sporting opportunities. Thrills can be got paragliding or ice climbing. You can also explore the nature on the winter hiking paths aroung Chamonix or during a snow shoe hike against the backdrop of Mont Blanc. Chamonix is worth a visit simply because of its several architectural layers - marvel at facades in Art Deco syle, at Hotels built in the Belle Epoque, old farms and huge villa, chalets that are rich in contrast and old churches. The Alpine museum is a must-see for Alpinists.
Snowpark: Snowpark Summit Park Chamonix
The Summit Park is the new Freestyle Snowpark in Chamonix Valley. It is situated in the area "Domaine de Balme" in the Chamonix Le Pass ski area and was shaped by Ho5Park. On an altitude of approx. 2,000 m, a long snowpark season is guaranteed. The park has a lot on offer for beginners, more experienced freestylers and professional ones alike. Varying modules, boxes, kicker, rails, pipe lines etc in three levels of difficulty - blue, red and black - that were designed according to FIS competition rules, offer everybody the opportunity to let off steam. Competitions take place on a regular basis, such as e.g. the annual "Ride the Snake".
The park has a length of approx. 1,000 m and runs along the tow lift, which makes it easily accessible. - Every freestyler's place to go!
