Chamonix off-piste

Off-piste is a way of life in Chamonix, for everyone from powder puppy to powder hound.
The Chamonix valley’s six major ski areas offer backcountry ski terrain to suit everyone from ‘powder puppy’ to ‘extreme skier’. Whether you want open slopes or couloirs, powder or spring snow (on the same day), cliff jumps, crevasses and the most dramatic back cloth imaginable, within an hour of Geneva airport, look no further.
