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!)
Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesChalet Blitzen is the perfect family-friendly retreat, offering features that cater to children and ensure a memorable holiday for all ages. The chalet’s spacious bunk room provides a cosy and playful sleeping area for kids, fostering a sense of adventure and togetherness. The mezzanine chill-out area serves as a safe and entertaining space where children can unwind, watch movies, or engage in games, creating a fun environment that enhances their stay. Families will also appreciate the chalet’s unrivaled ski-in/ski-out location on the Kandahar World Cup slope, allowing kids to enjoy skiing right from the doorstep without the hassle of lengthy commutes or crowded areas. With these thoughtful amenities and its welcoming atmosphere, Chalet Blitzen combines the excitement of mountain living with the comfort and convenience families need for an unforgettable alpine getaway.
