Proud of its major role in sports lore, the resort Chamonix in France is a wonderful setting for both competitive skiers and casual. You’ll have the opportunity to race the slopes or relax, no matter the reason you feel like a weekend away. But let’s cover some geography first. Nestled in the northwestern Alps is a settlement comprising more than fifteen small villages skiers know as “Chamonix”. The resort itself is renowned and much used with skiers and mountaineers. The Aiguilles Rouges – not to mention the legendary Mont Blanc – is near enough that Chamonix quickly becomes obvious as the convenient base camp when planning a ski break. And of course one of those peaks, Mont Blanc, is the third most visited natural site anywhere in the world and is visited year round.

In Chamonix you can find locations in which winter extreme sports can be indulged in in close proximity, among them all the evergreen sports like rock climbing, ice climbing, snowboarding and the eternal favorite skiing. Skiers and hikers may opt for the less high octane trails with breathtaking perspectives around Chamonix, all reached using a cable car or on foot. All skill levels will find something to suit, as we promise slopes designed to be used by beginners and those who are less confident as well as the expert runs.

There is no finer choice for an active family vacation than that of a luxury catered chalet. There is no need not to be comfortable while taking five before launching your run down the slopes, and when you stay in places like this, comfort is guaranteed. Your entire family will find plenty of room to stay in the resort’s luxury in one of the larger chalets or you can opt for a cosier place for just the two of you in a greatly romantic part of the world. For family fun or a budding romance Chamonix is an ideal setting and a peerless base camp. Ski during the winter, walk the peaks in summertime – there’s never a dull moment in the resort, no matter the season that you’re visiting on your holiday. A friendly and welcoming local population offer the chance for shopping trips among hamlets full of points of historical interest. A little bitr of planning will provide all the information you need to find the right airfare and living quarters package and sign up for what you want to do to make this the best holiday of all time!
