Chamonix Ski Resort Guide - Boutique Hotels and the Best Restaurants, Schools, Bars and Clubs in Chamonix

Hg2's Chamonix ski resort guide explores boutique hotels and the best restaurants, as well as schools, bars, clubs, shops, sights and spas.

Surprisingly, perhaps, skiing is a relatively new addition to Chamonix, which once attracted more visitors for its walking and climbing opportunities than it did anything else. Since the Winter Olympic Games in 1924, however, ski bunnies have flocked in their droves for some of the steepest off-pistes in the world. Add to that a picture-postcard town illuminated by twinkling fairy lights and a string of stylish bars, and you'll find that Chamonix is one of the coolest ski resorts in the French Alps.
