The Cast Iron Park Bench

The town of Chamonix is famous for its snowboarding but, opposed to numerous traditional skiing resorts, its snowboarding mountains are unconnected.

Indeed Chamonix has a total of 5 separate ski areas – Les Grands Montets, the tree lined Les Houches, Brevent, Flegere and finally Le Tour – only two of which are interconnected, this demands catching a bus or taking a car to and from the five separate domains.

So navigating one’s way around Chamonix Mont Blanc can prove difficult, and a understanding of the areas definitely facilitates.

Should you be unaccustomed to snowboarding holidays then paying for snowboarding lessons from a skiing school would be a good start, they can suggest to you which Chamonix ski pass to look into.

Obviously a ski plan will be handy, ski maps can be picked up from the Chamonix tourist office or from all of the ski stations.

You will then need to go to a ski hire shop to pick up your ski equipment, and with the plethora of ski hire shops in Chamonix town to choose from there shouldn’t be any difficulty.

Subsequently it’s vitally important to look at the forecast, ski report or webcam, whilst Chamonix is a mountainous ski resort so the atmospheric conditions change quickly.

If you are heading to Chamonix for a week’s trip or a skiing weekend you will find out that there is much to keep you absorbed.
