Overview

The resort of Les Contamines is spread along the valley towards St Gervais and offers great views of Mont Blanc. It is well known for its snow reliability. The traditional unspoilt charms of this mountain village are in total contrast with classy Megeve and sporty Chamonix. You will enjoy its genuine rural feel, weekley street market and alpine architecture.

Positive

  • Pretty village
  • Good snow record
  • Lift pass covers other resorts

 

Negative

  • Lifts a shuttle bus ride from the village
  • Quiet apres ski

Offslope/apres ski

Quiet apres ski but with a few bars offering live music and fun in the afternoon.

Our view

Very pretty and with a fantastic snow record this resort is another much under valued by the British ski market
