The Resort
Chamonix is often preceded by its own reputation. As one of the most famous ski resorts in the world, it has visitors travelling from all corners of the world to experience the epic runs year after year. The Chamonix town centre, also known as Chamonix-Mont-Blanc, is an endlessly inviting little city with enough going on to entertain skiers and non-skiers alike for weeks on end. For those travelling from the UK, it is fabulously easy to reach. You can drive straight from Calais by motorway and be set up in a gorgeous chalet in less than half a day.
The Chamonix Valley encompasses five main ski areas on four different mountains (with easy transfers in between). You can get yourself a single-resort lift pass or one that encompasses the whole valley. If you go with the latter option you’ll even have access to the Italian side of the valley in Courmayeur. The wider area encompasses 106 pistes at up to 3842m altitude and unparalleled off-piste runs.
Most of Chamonix’s ski areas are best suited to those who already feel at home on a pair of skis. Beginners definitely won’t get as much out of this valley as those who are comfortable tackling a black run. But that’s not saying Chamonix is unromantic by any means. There is incredible scenery for everyone to enjoy, from non-skiers to experts, and nature lovers will fall in love with the Chamonix in summer too. Ski season, however, often lasts until mid-March.
Once the skiing is over at the end of the day you’ll still find plenty to keep you occupied in town. There is an excellent selection of restaurants to choose from, ranging from Michelin starred fine dining to street food that will line your stomach for the après-ski (and rest assured there are dozens of great bars and clubs to choose from!)

Winter
Apart from skiing, Chamonix provides an array of winter activities suitable for children under the age of 3, including free slopes for toddlers near the tennis court and next to the cross-country tracks. Sledging enthusiasts can indulge in the thrill at designated areas such as Les Planards or the top of Prarion in Les Houches. Many ski hire shops conveniently offer sledges for sale or rent.
For a unique and unforgettable experience, families can embark on husky rides every Wednesday, subject to snow conditions. Children as young as 8 can learn to drive their sled, while younger ones can enjoy the ride as passengers. Booking in advance is advisable due to the popularity of this activity.
For those seeking an adrenaline rush, paret sledging offers a thrilling adventure down the upper slopes of Grands Montets. Older kids can participate in a Deluxe Igloo and Fondue Adventure, combining sledging, snowshoe hiking, and a traditional cheese fondue experience.
Summer
Chamonix extends its charm beyond winter, offering a plethora of summer activities for families. The Alpine Coaster, a luge ride along a 1300m track at Les Planards, entertains children from 3 years old, with unaccompanied rides available from 7 years old.
A visit to France's largest glacier is a must for families seeking a unique day out. The red cog Montenvers train takes visitors to the historic station at the top, where breathtaking views of the Mer de Glace glacier await. The ice cave, glaciorium, and crystal gallery provide fascinating insights into the world of ice.
Indoor activities in Chamonix include ice skating and swimming at the sports center, boasting a fun zone with slides, rapids, and massaging jets. Families can explore the history of the Chamonix valley at the Alpine Museum, delving into the beginnings of mountaineering and the first ascent of Mont Blanc.
