Skiing/boarding in Italy
Courmayeur is less than 30mins away through the Mont Blanc tunnel. A round trip tunnel ticket for the 11km journey costs 41.40€ return or we might be able to lend you our multi-pass which will cost guests 15€.
Skiing/boarding in Switzerland
Verbier is about an hour’s drive away via Martigny for some sunny ‘snow-bowl’ skiing and outrageously expensive lunches.
Prestige – Outdoor Specialists
Oli at Prestige organises all kinds of day and night time activities in Chamonix, Courmayeur and beyond for the adventurous, romantic or gourmands amongst you - from snowmobile treks to farmhouse restaurants with torch-lit descents to helicopter drops at the Crémerie du Glacier in Winter to rafting the entire Dora Baltea, glacial hiking and golf trips in the Summer. If you are in Chamonix for a week, you should do at least one of Oli’s trips. Book direct on 06 80 20 83 70.
Paragliding/parapente
For many people, a tandem flight high above Chamonix represents a challenge of pushing the personal comfort zone whilst being able to capture the awe-inspiring scenery at new-levels that the Mont Blanc massif has to offer. For others, it may be the opportunity to feel what it is like to fly or to share a moment floating through the air with a friend flying close by on another wing.
Planpraz (Brevent ski area), ax 20 mins flight time , allow one hour for the whole event: 100 Euros plus one way lift ticket. Members get a 10% discount.
Helicopter stuff
Heli-skiing is illegal in France but the heli-ski season usually starts (in Italy) in January. Until then, we can arrange helicopter transfers for you, fantastic leisure flights over the Mont Blanc Massif or flights to Megève with CMBH. The Clubhouse has leased flight time at a discounted rate for the benefit of residents and members. Some flight options are set out further on in this guide.
Not on Snow
A fairly good day out involves taking the historic Montenvers Train up to 1900m, from where you can see, walk down and into the famous glacier, Mer de Glace. There’s an interesting, if not particularly good restaurant at the top too. There is also an Alpine Museum which is free of charge and open until 4pm. Trains run every hour from 10am until 3pm from the Montenvers Train Station and cost 23€.
