Chamonix is, without doubt a skiers resort with extensive piste for intermediates and advanced skiiers. We went for five days. We would have needed ten to cover the area available. Plenty of snow for our visit and the lift system was adequate during the week. A word of caution though, the slopes were quiet and more numbers would surely make for a lot of queing.

Eating on the mountain was extortionate and should be avoided if possible but dining out in the town was good value with many decent restaurants available. The same however could not be said for the bee
