Chamonix: Our ski advisers' point of view

You will be in there in the temple of skiing. We advise Chamonix to the very good skiers as the slopes are particularly steep. Chamonix is not very convenient for families with young children, indeed, the nursery school is rather far from the resort. However, passionate skiers just can`t miss Chamonix, especially Argentiere and the Grands Montets glacier.
