The Chamonix ski area's comprise of Les Houches, Le Brevent, La Flegere, Argentiere (Les Grands Montets) and Le Tour. Each area has a distinct character and provides ski and snowboarding possibilities for all levels. Tree-lined Les Houches is particularly good for beginners, families and on bad weather days whilst Argentiere is renowned for steeps and deeps and off piste opportunities (latter best undertaken with a qualified UIAGM mountain guide) In the summer the ski pistes become pastures with cows and sheep or higher up, rock terrain for walking, hiking, rock climbing and Mountain biking, a SPORT LOVERS paradise!
