Chamonix is best for expert skiers and snowboarders, non-skiers and night-owls. The area is not recommended for beginners to lower intermediates, families, fair-weather skiers, nervous skiers or those wanting skiing convenience.
Chamonix is not so much a single resort as a chain of unconnected ski areas set along both sides of the valley dominated by Mont Blanc. The Chamonix town itself is based around a core of hotels and villas that were built near the end of the nineteenth century.
