Chamonix Valley

About Last Minute Ski Deals

The Chamonix Valley is set amongst stunning peaks, including the backdrop of Europe's highest mountain, the awesome Mont Blanc at 4808m. The valley offers some of the best skiing and accommodation in the Alps, and includes villages such as Les Houches, nearby Taconnaz and Les Bossons, Les Praz and finally Argentiere (at 1240m) at the top end of the valley. Chamonix town itself at 1035m lies halfway along the valley and is the main hub of activity.

The 16 km valley offers almost 150 km of varied piste (ranging from intermediate to extreme!); access to the slopes include the lifts at Les Houches, Brevent (600m out of Chamonix), Flegere (near Les Praz), Les Grands Montets (from Argentiere) and Le Tour at the top of the valley. Les Grands Montets goes up to 3275m although the famous 24 km off piste Vallee Blanche can be reached by a breath-taking ride up the Aiguille du Midi Cable car which goes up to the highest accessible point in the Alps at 3840m.

Les Houches (at 960m) is a small quite village with some great affordable accommodation. The ski resort of Les Houches is excellent, especially when the other resorts in the valley are closed due to high winds. There are some lively tree runs and some awe-inspiring views from the slopes of Mont Blanc itself.

Les Bossons and Taconnaz are small interlinking villages between Les Houches and Chamonix; Les Praz lies just up from Chamonix, with some good bars and a few shops. Argentiere (at 1240m) is a picturesque village with a bustling atmosphere and a good selection of bars and restaurants.

The valley is serviced by an efficient free bus service (with your lift pass). Please note that the photos shown are a mix of the villages in the Chamonix valley.
