Skiing and snowboarding:
Chamonix is the mecca of alpine adventure: skiing, snowboarding, climbing, mountaineering, ski touring and mountain biking. A bustling and lively town (nearly) all year round it offers something for everyone.
The apartments are local to the Brevents area, linked by a recent cable car into the Flegere sector.
Adding variety, use the excellent Chamonix bus services to ski the trees in Les Houches or experience the legendary Grands Montets above Argentiere.
Not forgetting of course, the stunning scenery surrounding the Vallee Blanche (guide strongly recommended).
Ski:
Chamonix is one of the world's most amazing ski and board areas. A number of areas are specifically designed for children or adults on their first snow experience. As you gain confidence Le Tour beckons with lots of gentle blue runs. However, for intermediates and above the valley becomes paradise. Le Tour is the most varied with a mixture of reds and blues - sun soaked runs heading down to Le Tour and with tree lined shelter down into Vallorcine. Brevent-Flegere is the largest area - you could easily spend your entire stay here exploring its long (and in one case very steep!) runs. Masses of 'in-between-the piste' riding makes fresh tracks accessible - but remain aware that ANY off piste skiing requires avalanche awareness. If you're happy off-piste then you should hire a guide and ski the Vallee Blanche at least once in your life! For good riders, real challenges lie above Argentiere in the steep, narrow, often bumpy runs of the fabled Grands Montets. Awesome!
