Chamonix France sits at the foot of the wonderful Mount Blanc, only 1hr by ski transfer from Geneva airport, in the European Alps and is widely regarded as the Alpine climbing and snowboarding epi centre of the Alps. Chamonix has long been known as a true area for extreme sports during both winter and summer. The town was home to the 1st Winter Olympics back in the 1920s – moreover it is also a region of exceptional natural beauty providing much to the adventurous mountaineer and sightseer.

However unlike most purpose built snowboarding fields the resort of Chamonix isn’t a modern snowboarding town and has been mostly saved from the modern monstrosities that blight a lot of the Alps. Chamonix is fortunate to have not only and infamous skiing area on the other hand a turn of the century and bustling resort centre.

Including an impressive swimming and sports complex, ice rink, casino and weekly market; and a plethora of designer shops, bars and night clubs, Chamonix privides a combination of skiing, town charm and going out, that only a few snowboarding domains can come close to. Therefore book your skiing trip immediately.
