Les Contamines is a delightful, traditional resort with stunning views of Mont Blanc, which towers above the village. The resorts north easterly aspect (facing the southern side of Mont Blanc) and its pastureland base means that the prudent management helps keep the slopes in tip top condition even with a modest amount of snow. This makes it the envy of many larger and more famous resorts in the area. Les Contamines also has some excellent off-piste slopes too, and virtually all of the skiing is above 1700m.
Easy day trips can be made to other resorts such as Chamonix, Argentière and Courmayeur in Italy which will thrill those of you looking for more demanding skiing. For a special day out, any reliable intermediate skier should consider a trip through the Vallée Blanche. In short, a holiday in Les Contamines can ensure variety in your ski experience coupled with a traditional old-world alpine village as your base.
