6th December: Pre-season lift openings

If the snow keeps falling then Chamonix has scheduled some partial ski area openings from 6th December. First to open is usually Les Grands Montets where at least some of the lifts will open to give access to some early season skiing.Les Houches may also open on 6th December if the conditions are good.

From 13th December, there may also be partial openings of the ski areas at Brévent-Flégère and Le Tour, so keep your fingers crossed for some early season snow!

First snow lift passes

Between 29th November and 19th December, there are great savings to be had on ski passes, so take advantage of the first snow prices and buy a Mont Blanc Unlimited pass at reduced rates. A 6-day pass is cheaper than the equivalent Chamonix Le Pass at normal price, so it’s a really great deal. These discounted rates show automatically on our Chamonix Resort Shop if you are visiting Chamonix on these dates, so read on for information on how to book.

Booking and paying for lift passes

In winter, you have a choice of two ski passes which cover the skiing in the Chamonix valley. The Mont Blanc Unlimited gives access to everything you see listed above, plus skiing in Courmayeur in Italy and Verbier in Switzerland*, so why not go straight to our Chamonix Resort Shop to book now and pay securely online?
