Chamonix Ski Week
After flying into Geneva, Switzerland you will meet the suttle transfer to Chamonix where we will be based for the week. This gives us the option to ski a number of descents while at the same time allowing you to explore the culture, food, and fun of this historic town in the evening.
Chamonix, France, offers skiers and riders an unmatched experience with its world class terrain, stunning alpine views, and vibrant aprés-ski culture against the backdrop of Mont Blanc and the European Alps.
From your first tram ride to the top of the Aiguille du Midi until you depart, you will be in awe of the mountains around you. It is home to “the most beautiful ski descent in the world” and steep skiing/riding at its finest.
