Located in the heart of the world-famous Mont Blanc region, Les Contamines is one
of the world’s most snowsure resorts. With 120 km of uncrowded pistes - between 1200
and 2500m - there is superb ski-ing for all levels. It has special features for snowboarding,
and excellent, safe, off-piste access. The lifts are a few minutes drive from the
chalet and there are several cosy and welcoming mountain restaurants to sample the
local dishes. Les Contamines has a "hands-free" lift pass system, and also offers
family passes and passes for non-consecutive days, for those who don't want to ski
every day.
As well as ski-ing and snowboarding, the village offers ski de fond, guided snow
shoe (raquette) expeditions, ice skating and dog sledding. For the more adventurous
skiers, the breathtaking Vallee Blanche above Chamonix and the famous Les Grands
Montets glacier at Argentiere are within easy reach. Indeed, none of the 14 resorts
of the Mont Blanc Region are more than a 10 to 40 minute drive away.
The après ski is relaxed and friendly with traditional Savoyard bars and restaurants.
