Pros: One of the most beautiful places on the planet. Cons: Expensive and crowded in season. Weather can be moody.
Chamonix must be one of the most beautiful places on the planet. You are surrounded by high mountains, many of which are snow-capped, and what you see from the ground is but a small taste of what lies beyond. The town of Chamonix is not at all off ...
Pros: scenery, culture, prices, off-piste galore!!! Cons: pushy French :)
OK, Kristenulmer's opinion is very good....just a few things I'd like to add.
This valley easily walks all over anything Colorado has to offer. This is not American bashing, but if you go to Colorado first [and I happen to love Colorado] and...
Pros: spectacular scenery, well maintained hiking trails, great food Cons: closing dates of various lifts,
Its been interesting to read previous reviews about Chamonix, as almost all of them mention how crowded and touristed the town was. Given the historical significance of the valley, the incredible skiing and world renowned reputation, it's hard to...
Pros: mountains, hiking Cons: expensive food, some crowded hiking trails
The town of Chamonix feels like it was precariously placed in a crack between towering rows of mountains. The chalet-style buildings are a small assertion of civilization, a rowdy speck of light in the looming solid rock. The mountains are dark beasts...
Pros: The most extreme resort available in Europe, large variety of slopes and challenges. Cons: Expensive! There are cheaper places to go! Very much a tourist town.
I last visted chamonix in Feburary 2001. This was my second trip to the French resort, situated around 1 1/2 hours form Geneva, where most of the transfers are from. My previous trip was a 3 day excursion, in the year of 1998, while I was working as a...
Pros: Great Snow, Many Trails Cons: Not For Non-Skiers, High Prices
Over my Spring Break, April 12 to April 32, I went skiing in Chamonix with my family. I live in Tampa, FL, so I do not get a chance to ski often, but consider myself an intermediate to advanced skier (I can do the easier Black Trails). It was close to...
Pros: Skiing, Off-Piste, Nightlife, Culture, Town Cons: Too much to do, too little time
I've skied all over North America (Squaw, Kirkwood, Summit County in Colorado, Utah, Whistler, Jay Peak, Killington, and more) and I've found Chamonix to be the best ski resort that I've ever been. Skiing was awesome, with great terrain for all levels...
Pros: Great slopes, loads of selection, easy piste markings, something for every level Cons: British tourists! Very busy lifts & slopes, overrated nightlife, slopes away from town
Thus far I have snowboarded in Val d'Isere, Tignes, Cortina d'Ampezzo and Queenstown, NZ - but Chamonix tops them all. The area is massive, loads of slopes/areas to choose from and the slopes are high quality for snowboarders - steep, wide and long. ...
