WHY CHAMONIX
Mont Blanc on the doorstep and spas made for aching legs.
Chamonix is mountaineering's spiritual home: dramatic, glacier-fed and steep, with a lively town and hotel spas that exist to undo the day. For getting properly into the high mountains and recovering in style.
WHEN TO SKI · CHAMONIX
The mountain, and when it's at its best.
A low town under very high, glaciated terrain — the snow lives up top.
