AREAS
Extending over three areas, the Chamonix Mont-Blanc ski lifts
can be accessed by ski bus, SNCF train or car (car parks).
CHALLENGING SKIING
LES GRANDS MONTETS (1 235 M – 3 300 M)
Exceptional vertical drops and famous pistes have given the Grands-Montets
its reputation as a world-famous ski area, part of which is on a
glacier. Internationally renowned thanks to its size and the variety
of its ski runs and pistes, which extend over three slopes: the Argentiere
glacier, Lognan and la Pendant. The length of the pistes, their vertical
drop (max. altitude 3300 m) and the exceptional quality of the snow
until May, make it a paradise for skiers and surfers.The return run
to Argentiere has been equipped with artificial snow.
