Several ski areas
Les Grand Montets, Brevent/Flégère and Le Domaine make up the skiing area itself. A little further on you find Les Houches which is more laid back. Brevent/Flégère is easy to reach if you stay in central Chamonix, but just jump in the ski bus to visit other areas. You can visit different areas before and after lunch since transportation between the slopes is quick and easy. Lift cards are available for the whole system or just for a specific part. The choice is yours.Each area has its own unique character. Le Brévent and Flégère is the hang-out paradise. It is known as the 'sun shelf' in Chamonix - the sun shines all the time, almost. The view is breathtaking - the whole valley below you with Mont Blanc in the background. Get pumped in black pistes or glide leisurely down a blue piste and then stop for a delicious meal with your friends in the middle of the slope. Les Grand Montets is a bit further off and offers a large variety of pistes and off piste possibilites. Most pistes are black or blue but they are long, fabulous and you just want to go another time! Did you train your leg muscles? Then you have no problems leaving from the top going 2,000 meters all the way down to the valley in one go! Le Domaine de Balme offers various pistes, across wide and open spaces and through forests. On the other side of the system you can do right down to Vallorcine in Switzerland.
