Fantastic Chamonix – one of the most popular ski resorts in the world – 3* self-catering apartments

Charming Chamonix, nestled at the foot of towering Mont Blanc, is world-renowned as the centre of professional mountaineering. The resort attracts serious climbers and ski-treckers from all over, all drawn to the alpine beauty and sporting challenges of this fantastic valley . There's plenty to keep intermediate and advanced skiers happy, especially off piste and in completing the stunning "Vallee Blanchee" connecting with Courmayeur.

Even a cursory glance at the piste map will impress you with a vast network of well-connecting lifts and varied runs offering almost endless skiing fun. The resort itself is unusually a proper French town, with charming Sayourard building stringing out along the winding valley floor.
