Luxury Ski chalets in Chamonix France are not widespread but we have handpicked some of the best chalets in the Chamonix valley to provide our guests with the ultimate experience in Chamonix.
Chamonix
The iconic Chamonix Valley has a global reputation and a simply jaw dropping natural scenery.
Sitting at the foot of Mont Blanc it is a stunning alpine town. Chamonix is one of the few French resorts that is buzzing year round with a well heeled international clientele.
The large Alpine town has something for everyone (non-skiers ) alike. From après ski at La Folie Douce to a relaxing spa day at QC Terme Chamonix is guaranteed to ensure that everyone is happy.
Ski Area
The Chamonix Valley has a total of five ski areas from the family favourite of Les Houches at the bottom of the valley where many of our ski in/ski out chalets are located to Grand Montets and Le Tour at the top of the valley. There is a total of more than 150km of prepared slopes and trails and 49 lifts. Particularly popular with powder skiers and snowboarders is Les Grands Montets, which rises above the village of Argentiere. Flégère and Brevent (accessible from central Chamonix) are both south facing sunny ski areas with some of the best mountain views anywhere in the Alps. Les Houches has perhaps the best view of Mont Blanc from anywhere and some beautiful tree lined pistes and family skiing.
At an altitude of between 1,235m and 3,300m North Facing Grands Montets is open from the end of November until the end of April with it’s winter closing party usually taking place the first week of May. It is a firm favourite with powder skiers with huge amounts of high altitude off piste areas.
Accessible from central Chamonix the linked ski areas of Brévent and Flégère have a huge variety of pistes from beginners to experts. At Brévent accessible from the planpraz gondola is an airbag for those wishing to safely practice their jumping skills.
