Overall generally good to Ski in Chamonix and plenty on offer in the evenings too!

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveller

Great place for weekend ski breaks, 50 minutes from Geneva airport and lots of ski resort choices.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveller

Very good skiing. Definitely need a car though as the ski areas are spread out. There are buses, but I imagine that is a pain. The city is great.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveller

Very nice, go every year. Watch out for dog drippings as that is the only negative.

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveller

The ski area was too small and not well-connected.
