Location
About the surrounding area of Chalet GaudenaysChalet Gaudenays is ideally situated for guests to make the most of the stunning natural beauty of the French Alps, with the lively resort town and exceptional winter sports facilities of Chamonix just a short drive away. Chamonix boasts an idyllic river and a charming town centre with a weekly food market, where guests will find plenty of excellent local produce. The town is home to shops and supermarkets, as well as pretty cafes and a wide array of excellent restaurants. Vibrant bars, microbreweries and music venues make Chamonix the ideal setting for an après-ski experience like no other, with Mont Blanc providing a dreamlike backdrop.
Encompassing five different ski areas set across four mountains, skiing and snowboarding enthusiasts will find endless opportunities to explore the expansive range of slopes on offer throughout the valley, with easy transfers available across the world-famous resort. Meanwhile, for a sunny afternoon away from the slopes, visitors can make their way to Chamonix Amusement Park or cultural highlights such as the Parc de Merlet and the Musée Alpin Chamonix.
Adventure seekers will be thrilled to find parasailing and paragliding facilities on offer for adrenaline-fuelled afternoons, while Vallée Blanche - the ideal spot for a variety of snow sports - is also easily accessible. Offering three distinctive zones and incredible vistas, the area of Les Grands Montets is known for its steep terrain and challenging off-piste skiing. Ski areas include the lower terrain around the village of Argentière, the mountain stretching from Lognan to Borchard, as well as steeper alpine terrain that reaches up to 3,275m and includes the jaw-dropping Argentière glacier.
The Chamonix resort also provides novice and intermediate skiers with fantastic training slopes. Home to the Kandahar World Cup skiing event, Les Houches is great for beginners, with a welcoming upper plateau that also provides mountain bikers and hikers with rewarding views during warmer months. Meanwhile, cable car rides offer breathtaking ascents to sublime summits, where you can marvel at the peaks of Les Droites and L’Aiguille Verte. Close to the centre of Chamonix, the thrilling Accro'Park offers climbing and ziplining experiences in a sprawling adventure park nestled within the forested area of Les Gaillands.
Wholly deserving of its prestigious reputation, the spectacular Chamonix Valley offers winter sports enthusiasts and nature lovers alike a uniquely beautiful setting below majestic Mont Blanc.

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!)
