Chamonix Boarding & Freestyle

Freestylers will like the natural jumps, quarters, and gullies of Le Tour and La Flegere, including the infamous Big Tit jump.

For boarders, as for skiers, Chamonix is not an ideal place to learn. The gentler slopes of Le Tour are mostly serviced by drag lifts though the rest of the ski areas are thankfully characterised by bubbles, cable cars and chair lifts. For good boarders, however, the mountains of Chamonix open up like a picture book. All the off-piste described inChamonix off-pisteis suitable for boarders, although Vallée Blanche is mostly too flat for easy riding.

There is a snow park south of Chamonix covering much of the small resort Les Bossons (one chair lift and 3 pistes) which is privately owned and not covered on the normal lift pass (open afternoons and evenings for around 10 euros a session), but there are not many big jumps and with so much amazing natural terrain on offer it is not really worth the effort.

Freestylers will like Le Tour or La Flegere, where there are an abundance of natural jumps, quarters, and gullies. The infamous Big Tit jump at La Flegere, just off the side of the main red run from the top of the Darth Vader lift (L'Index), is reputedly the biggest natural kicker in Europe.

Le Brevent (linked to La Flegere by a low-level gondola) has some good on-piste and steep powder runs, the best of which are accessed from the top of the Col Cornu chairlift, and the runs beneath the Parsa chair are good for fast on-piste riding.
