Ski cross-country

Cross-country skiing is an undiscovered sport with many but is a great way to enjoy the mountains from ground level. It’s perfect if you want to try something a little different and take a day away from the slopes.

 Chamonix has two dedicated cross country skiing areas and offers an excellent choice of varied and picturesque circuits that run through the forests and along the turquoise rivers. There are gentle pistes linking Chamonix with the village of Les Bois or further up the valley the quietude of Argentière with skiing through pine forests. This area is more suited to more accomplished skiers.

Snow conditions permitting, these 2 areas are linked via the village of Le Lavancher. Ski hire can be obtained at nearby ski hire shops to the 2 starting areas.If you want to learn the basic with an instructor Chamonix All Year can arrange this for you, just speak to your resort representative or email relax@chamonixallyear.com
