Ski area Chamonix
Hot recommendation for all snowshoe hikers: directly in the ski area Domaine de Balme there is a grandiose snowshoe route which leads from the mountain station of the Vallorcine cable-car up along the Aiguille des Posettes trail. From here you can enjoy a magnificent mountain panorama view, which you should not miss.
If you are a more experienced skier and a looking for a bit more of a challenge, there is the possibility to upgrade the lift pass to "Mont Blanc Unlimited". With this lift pass you can access a total of 880 km of well-prepared descents. 241 lifts ensure the connection of the intermediate skill areas Aiguille du Midi, Balme tour - Vallocine, Brévent-Flégère, Les Grands Montets, Les Houches, the large ski areal Evasion Mont Blanc and Courmayeur on the Italian side and Verbier on the Swiss side of the border works smoothly.
A free ski bus connects the two lift pass areas in the validity area of "Chamonix Le Pass" and "Mont Blanc Unlimited".
Après ski Vallorcine
For a cosy nightcap you can pop by the some of the bars in Vallorcine, as for instance the L'Arrêt Bougnête" or the "Le Café Comptoir". Party animals however, are better advised to visit the big Après Ski Party in Chamonix.
In the resort itself there is a small ice rink available which is great for both adults and children, and behind the tourism information office there is a toboggan slope.
Snowpark: Snowpark Snow Bowl Vallorcine
The Snow Bowl Snowpark is located the middle station Lognan at the Grand Montets, in the ski area Chamonix Le Pass. Just as the snow park of Les 7 Laux, this park is also shaped by the Ho5Park team. It is located at approx. 2,000 m altitude and therefore guarantees accessibility from the beginning to the end of the season. The park offers a great selection for beginners and pros amongst the freestylers. Four different lines are only waiting to be explored: Snow Bowl, Jump Bowl, Smooth Bowl and Cross Bowl (boardercross). Kickers, rails and boxes of all levels (green, blue, red and black) provide great entertainment and enough space to burn off some energy.
The park stretches over approx. 700 m in length and the runs directly alongside the chair lift and the gondola - therefore easy to access. Attention freestylers: this park is definitively worth a visit!
