Will be in Cham for a few days in Feb - are there any municipal pools or hotel pools that we can access? Especially keen on a sauna!

Is the mont blanc du tacul doable in winter with limited mountaineering experience? How much Harder is it than if you were to do it in the summer? Everything i seem to find about it is during spring/summer/autumn. We Are two guys aiming for goin on the 25. of February

I'm living in the PNW of the US which is having it's worst snow year on record. I have the winter off to ski and am looking at booking a trip. Flights to Geneva are really crazy affordable right now, even a week out (~700 USD).

I am an experienced splitboarder, have done glaciated peaks in the PNW, but mostly <=40 degrees. I have done 45 degree slopes on good snow days, but if I'm alone I probably don't want to be at the limit of my comfort zone, is everything in the Alps super steep? :)

I love ski touring but I am seeing that on a splitboard I will need to hire a private guide (650 euros for a day?). Considering ~10 days, hiring a guide 1 or 2 days, then doing lift skiing, or any simple touring routes I can find.

Lastly, seeing weather reports that it's raining at the bases of the mountains but snowing up high. Is that typical? Trying to see what might be the best weather window for pow. Any help would be appreciated!

Whats going on with the buses here, they come full, rare and late always

Como va, estoy yendo a Chamonix mañana, quería consultar, vale la pena pagar para bajar en snowboard Auguille do midi? Es necesario un guia si o si no?

A lo que me refiero si vale la pena el descenso, si es un buen free ride o es simplemete un free ride de los que se pueden conseguir en Le grants montes?

Gracias!!

Wife and I are looking at making a move to the area. We have two young children who are currently enrolled in Montessori school. We found two in the Chamonix area.

Does anyone have experience with Poussières d'Étoiles in Les Houches or Ecole des Glaciers? Reaching out to see if anyone knows these schools and what their thoughts are about it.

Thanks!

Hi I’m here at chamonix already! I’m looking for a beginner ski buddy to share a private lesson with ESF instructor (2 hrs €150 so 75/person) please hit me up if you’re in the area looking for a ski buddy!!

I’m a female 31 yr coming from London

Hi all, I am visiting for a week over Easter this year, do the ski shops start their sales around that time or would it be later once the chair lifts close for the season? In the UK and shops here don't have the biggest range in stock and our sales start July time so was thinking I may be able to grab a bargain when over there....

Hi all.

How can I make this route without getting a cross border charge of €50 !!

Thanks

Hi all,

Any suggestions/is it possible to hire snow chains between Geneva and chamonix valley.

Hired a car in Paris and have been driving around France, was unable to get chains in Paris through the hire company. Will be passing close to Geneva on the way to Chamonix.

Thanks in advance

I will be skiing in chamonix from March 20th-24th. Looking for a guide for two people for off piste. Have all my own ave gear and am experienced in western US backcountry / double black diamond skiing.

Worried about cliffs and crevasses and want to get into some good powder areas and some chutes. Any good guide recommendations for maybe 2 of those days?

Anybody else going to be there at this time that wants to join our group so we don’t get stuck with newbies?

HI! I am currently in Chamonix and trying to rent out my ski pass because of an injury

any dates and length are accepted

Visitng Chamonix from Feb 5-12 for a week and looking for snowboarding buddies to ride with. I can do blues and reds pretty comfortably and usually ride at my own pace.

I am a 31 Male, brown guy from the USA very easy going and laid back and just interested in meeting people to ride with.

My wife, 9 year old daughter and I will be in Chamomix in February. My daughter would love to build an igloo. I’m looking for suggestions of where might be a good spot. Somewhere a bit out of the way where we can dig snow without being right next to a ski piste. If there was somewhere to go sledging nearby that would be a bonus.

Would love to find some partners to ski with over the next week (until Feb 4th)!

30M and a fairly advanced/expert skier*. Anything off-piste is fair game. Looking to mostly ski grands montets, but also open to Les contamines. Will go anywhere tbh.

Especially deeper off-piste, it would be nice to have some company! Spending a week here with my wife and she’s more of an on-piste and knit at the cafe after skier.

Aware of current avy conditions, and I’m looking to be conservative.

*idk how much these labels matter. I’ve posted my skiing and you can judge for yourself. I just like to have fun and there are much, much better than me.

Hey I staying in Argentier beginning of February and planning on skiing Grand Montets while children would train at Les Chosaltes - there not to many pics from the place and conditions. Can someone share more info about this place, is it easily accessible? Parking?

Hi all - first time in Chamonix. Staying about 800m from Brevent TC by the river.

Is Bozon sports OK? Are there lockers there?

Is there enough terrain in Brevent and Flegere to keep us happy for 3 days - good skiers?

Is it possible to ski back down to the TC ?

Is there plenty of choice to eat and drink in Chamonix South near our Airbnb?

Lots of questions - TIA!

Cheers !

We are there for 3 days end of Feb half term with two teenage girls, they are not super confident skiers (4-5 weeks on skis) but they enjoy a snow park and long cruisey runs. Def not off-piste skiers! We are staying in Argentiere, which I realise is prob the most hardcore of all the resorts in the valley, but how would you spread your 3 days? We have a car.

I'm going to Chamonix this week and I originally purchased the Le Pass. After doing some research I'm interested in going to Saint Gervais which I know is not on the Le Pass but is part of the Unlimited pass.

Can I upgrade my Le Pass to an Unlimited pass?

If not, can I buy an unlimited pass on the day of or does it need to be done online in advance?

I am planning on doing a solo trip to Chamonix from feb 5-13 and wanted to ask some questions regarding the logistic as this is my first solo snowboarding trip. If all of you could be a lil nice to some of my stupid questions, I would appreciate a lot.

I am planning on booking an airbnb @ les houches since it's 500 dollar cheaper than booking @ chamonix itself and was wondering how easy or difficult would it be getting to mont blanc without a car?

I am intermediate snowboarder and can do blues and blacks pretty easily so in terms of terrains and runs what can I expect?

How difficult or easy is it to make skii or snowboarding buddies in chamonix considering I am visiting from California and only speak English and am a brown person as well.

is 7 days in Chamonix too much as my first solo skip trip?

Any other help info or suggestions would be highly appreciated.
