The Chamonix Valley offers something for skiers of all levels, with over ninety miles of pistes ranging from gentle forest runs to steep black runs, but is chiefly renowned for its superb glacier and off-piste skiing. The most famous off-piste descent is the Vallée Blanche - a 12-mile, high-altitude route accessed via the spectacular cable-car ride to the Aiguille du Midi.

The Compagnie des Guides can provide private expert ski guiding or tuition to beginners and experts alike, as well as helping you experience a diverse range of other mountain activities, including paragliding. All in all, Chamonix is the complete mountain resort for a luxury ski holiday.
