Snow records have always been good in Les Contamines-Montjoie, its north facing slopes which catch the first snow of the season combined with its snow cannon system makes it a snow sure resort from the week before Christmas right through until mid April. There is something for everyone from the skiing itself to ski mountaineering, cross country skiing, off piste glacier skiing and snow shoeing to name only a few.
This resort is particularly suited to families and the outdoor ice rink in the village is always a hit with the kids!
