The ski resort of Chamonix is lauded for its skiing and snowboarding although, opposed to numerous other traditional ski resorts, its snowboarding mountains are unconnected.
In fact Chamonix Mont Blanc has 5 separate snowboarding domains - Les Montets, Les Houches, le Brevent, Le Flegere and not forgetting the snowboarder’s favourite Le Tour - however only two are interlinked, and this necessitates taking a ski bus or driving yourself to the different domains.
Hence navigating one’s way around Chamonix Mont Blanc can prove to be challenging, and so a understanding of Chamonix definitely aids things.
If the group is unused to skiing holidays then taking ski lessons with a Chamonix skiing school would be a good start, the instructors will also notify you on which Chamonix ski pass to buy.
Obviously a skiing map will be useful, and these can be collected either from the tourist office or from all of the snowboarding areas.
You will then need to go to a hire store to pick up some skiing gear, and with the wide range of ski shops in Chamonix to select there should not be any difficulty.
Afterwards it’s of importance to find out the Chamonix weather forecast, skiing report or a webcam of the ski area you wish to ski, since Chamonix is a elevated skiing area so the weather vary both quickly and dramatically.
Whether you are traveling to Chamonix Mont Blanc for a week long family holiday or a short ski break you will find that there’s a lot to keep you happy.
