Chamonix Ski Holidays

Epic ski adventures in the midst of France’s biggest glacier, Mont Blanc's jaw dropping backdrop and an iconic alpine village

Chamonix shines as one of France's most ancient and illustrious ski resorts. It proudly played host to the inaugural Winter Olympics back in 1924, setting a standard that still thrives today. While its ski area, spanning 150 kilometers, may seem modest in size compared to some, it's an unrivaled playground for the seasoned skier.

Oozing with cosmopolitan charm, this town heaving with bars and restaurants, pampering spas and ice caves has attracted globetrotters since the 18th century. Stroll the car-free streets and soak in the striking Art Deco and Art Nouveau architecture, seamlessly weaving among Savoyard structures and boutiques catering to all your sporting needs. But when the sun dips below the peaks, Chamonix transforms into a nightlife wonderland that you simply can't afford to miss. Whether your heart beats for glass box vistas and helicopter rides or live music and late-night cocktails, Chamonix has it all. 

Apres Ski

Chamonix isn't just famed for its slopes; it's a hub of camera-loving vibrant vistas and après-ski experiences. Non-skiers can let loose with an array of options from snow-kiting to paragliding and winter walking paths with Mont Blanc views. The Montenvers cog-railway offers a unique winter experience, transporting you to the base of France's largest glacier, Mer de Glace for a tour of the breathtaking Ice Cave! Other outdoor options include ice skating, paintballing, luging, and husky rides, while indoors, a cinema, bowling alley, casino and climbing wall await, along with the leisure centre’s theraputic wellness area and fun pool with a waterfall, waterslide and rapids.

When it comes to boisterous apres ski in the Alps, you’re in the right place! Enjoy the iconic Chambre Neuf where live music hits the roof most afternoons. Evenings enjoy the lively buzz of The Jekyll and Micro Brasserie, fancy cocktails at Chic Le Privilege and the Clubhouse, or fine-dining at Michelin-starred options like Auberge du Bois Prin and Albert 1er. Craving Italian? Try l'Impossible. For traditional cuisine, numerous options abound. Patisserie Richard caters to those with a sweet tooth.
