Situated at the crossroads of France, Switzerland and Italy, Chamonix is ideal for both skiing and sightseeing. The Chamonix Valley is comprised of ten ski areas, 62 lifts and a dozen charming villages and hamlets. The spectacular presence of Mont Blanc (Europe's highest mountain at 15,770 ft) and the surrounding peaks create a truly breathtaking setting. Groomed runs provide trails for all abilities. The off-piste skiing at Les Grands Montets is some of the best in the world for advanced skiers. Good news! The famous Mont Blanc Tunnel is open, so skiing in Courmayeur, Italy is accessible once again.
Your Mont-Blanc ski pass gives you access to all the ski areas in the Mont-Blanc region and Courmayeur, Italy, with over 700km of trails. For the non-skiers, activities abound from snowmobiling, snowshoeing, sledding and day trips to places such as Annecy, Megeve, Geneva (Switzerland) and Aosta (Italy).
The famous "Vallee Blanche" ski run is an experience not to be missed. As you climb from 3,379 to 12,604 ft on the Aiguille du Midi cable car, you'll admire the Massif and the Mont Blanc summit, the Bossons Glacier, the Aiguille Verte and the Drus. The 12-mile descent takes 4 to 6 hours, depending on skiing ability and length of photo stops. The glaciers, peaks and couloirs form a stupendous background to an unforgettable experience. Since this is an entirely off-piste run, a qualified high mountain guide is recommended. Non-skiers should ride the cable car to the top for some spectacular photo opportunities. Your vacation will be spent a beautiful 3-star Hotel Alpina. After a wonderful stay you will return to the airport and return home.
