The Chamonix Valley has one of the most spectacular skiing terrains in Europe and the Les Grands Montets ski slopes attract visitors from all over the world.
Chalet Charmante is perfectly positioned to make the most of this extraordinary area. Les Grands Montets has three distinctive zones, the lower mountain area between Argentière Village and the main station of Lognan at 1972m, the mixed alpine terrain from Lognan to Borchard at 2765m and the steeper alpine terrain which includes the Argentière glacier up to 3275m.
Much of the area is above the tree line with the upper skiing areas located on a glacier, accessed by a second cable car. The view from the top lift station is breath-taking with spectacular views of the Argentière glacier and over towards Mont Dolent.
There are 8 main lifts with 2 gondolas, 2 cable cars and 4 chair lifts.
Thrill seekers and expert skiers frequent the Chamonix terrain in search of formidable pistes and Les Grands Montets has the reputation of one of the best off-piste ski areas in the Alps. However, Chamonix also offers novice and intermediate skiers some wonderful training slopes. Les Houches is perfect for beginners with its large upper plateau.
Overall the valley is 16km long and 2km wide with the Mont Blanc ski pass covering the resorts of Argentière and Les Houches, as well as the resorts of Megeve and Verbier in Switzerland.

Not to be missed is the snow garden situated at the top of Grands Montets, constructed and maintained by the piste team
