Chamonix Chalet news

Last weekend brought thick snow to the Chamonix Valley, and it continues to fall with up to a metre expected over the next few days. Les Grands Montets will open fully for the first time this weekend. Brilliant early season snow has opened the runs to the base, and they were in super condition last weekend when we went to try them out. With the full complement of lifts running, Chamonix now has 1500 vertical metres of descent open! We’re hoping to see some work on the terrain park soon as it is very much in evidence in the Compagnie Du Mont Blanc’s brochures.

The snowfall began quite lightly at the chalet but soon began to settle on the trees:

Before long, it was coming down thick and fast - luckily it’s cosy in the mazot….

…which was well covered in the morning…

…when there was a some blue sky before it started again.
