Formerly two separate ski areas, in 2000 these two areas above Chamonix town were joined together via a cable car, and are now called Brévent Flégère. The combined areas stretch from Chamonix centre up to the village of Les Praz and offer the largest number of pistes of all on Chamonix valley's ski areas.

There are good sized car parks at both the ski stations too if you are driving. Best suited to intermediate skiers and boarders (or better) there is a good spread of challenging skiing to be had, both on piste and off from the top of Planpraz (Le Brevent), Cornu(Le Brevent) and Index (La Flegere) chairlifts. La Flégère and Le Brévent are connected by a cable car which enables you to go from one mountain to the other.

On powder days the area is less busy then the Grands Montets and it's possible to get fresh tracks all day long if you are prepared to do a bit of hiking. Le Brévent ski station is the closest to the centre of Chamonix.
