Destination Guides - Chamonix ski holidays

Chamonix

Chamonix ski holidays take you to one of the oldest ski resorts in France. Located in the south-east of the country beneath the north face of Mont Blanc, it is a very popular resort throughout the year. The ski season is of course a great attraction as the resort caters well for all ability levels. Even newcomers can reach high altitudes by taking the Aiguille cable car. There is also a mountain train to Mer de Glace. Lying at an altitude of one thousand metres and the highest lift rising to three thousand seven hundred metres, the resort is fairly snow sure. The season opens in early December and closes at the end of April. Summer sees an influx of walkers, cyclists and climbers. Several regional airports have direct flights to Geneva which has the fairly short transfer time of a little over an hour.

Cheap Chamonix ski holidays have wide appeal as they cater for all, from couples of all ages to families and to groups of young adults.
