General information
"Skiing on the slopes of Mont Blanc"
Chamonix is the most famous ski town in France.
It breaks every normal European rule for a ski resort.
None of the trails drops directly into town; instead
the ski area is spread along a valley almost 10
miles long.In Chamonix you can ski hard all day
long, then sit at a café in a small square
and sip a kir, wine or beer. The bars are crowded
with international groups, and you are surrounded
by other skiers who are here not for the ritz and
the glitz but for the challenge, the exhilaration
of testing themselves against Europe's most spectacular
slopes.Although experts rave about the resort, thousands
learn to ski here every year. But realize that this
is not a walk-to-your-lesson resort. Intermediates
are happy skiing in this ideal area, increasing
their skills on challenging terrain.Experts need
never worry that may not be a bigger challenge over
the mountains: in Chamonix, there always is. |
