Ski Resorts | Chamonix, Les Houches & Megeve
Our Playground
From gentle beginner slopes to challenging expert terrain, we teach across the best ski resorts in the Chamonix Valley and Megève.
Chamonix Valley
The Chamonix Valley includes several distinct ski areas, each with its own strengths. Instead of being one big interconnected domain, it's a collection of individual resorts linked by shuttle or train, all covered by the same ski pass.
Each sector is unique, and it's easy to get around using the valley's free buses and local train. Whether you're starting out or looking for steeper lines, the Chamonix Valley has something for every type of skier.
