Chamonix valley ski passes 2008/09 season

The ski passes for the Chamonix valley are available in dozens of formats, so you can choose what you want to pay for. But with so many different ski areas in the valley, it is understandable that the ski pass system is less than simple!

Ski passes are available to purchase online, by phone, or at the ticket desks at the base of each ski lift area. If you would like to save yourself the trouble, we offer a free ski pass service* where we purchase your passes on your behalf and deliver them to your apartment or chalet for your arrival.

Families have got a superb deal this season! Within the family package for the Chamonix Le Pass or the Mont Blanc Unlimited pass, the first child (under 16yrs) pays half the adult price when with two adult family members and any other additional children (within the same family) go free! Due to the necessity to provide proof of identity for this deal, this will need to be purchased at the lift ticket offices.

With the exception of the Les Houches pass - over 16's are classed as adults, children under 4 ride free and 75's and over travel at a further discount.

We have selected a few of the main prices, but if you require other options please contact us or visit the Compagnie du Mont Blanc website for all Chamonix tariff details and the Les Houches website for details just for Les Houches.

The main ski passes are:

Chamonix Le Pass

This is perfect for those who'd like to take advantage of the vast amount of groomed runs and secure off piste areas within three of the main valley ski areas: Brevent-Flegere, Le Tour and Grand Montets (up to 2765m) and also the lower beginner areas (La Vormaine, Les Planards, Le Savoy and Les Chosalets).

With so much area to choose from, it is understandable that most people will opt for this pass, but if you wish to upgrade to the Mont Blanc Unlimited pass, you can do so at a lift cash desk at any time.

Insurance

You have the option to purchase 'assurance Carré Neige' with most lift passes, which is a special ski insurance worth having even if you have your own insurance as it is instantly recognised in France.

Please feel free to contact us for any further information or if you would like to book our ski pass service*.

• * The ski pass service is available only to passes within the Compagnie du Mont Blanc website. Unfortunately we are unable to offer this service for family passes as you will need to provide proof of family relationship at the time of purchase - this must be done at one of the ticket offices at the lift base of the main ski areas.
• ** Les Houches Prarion Gondola is the only lift in Les Houches covered by the Mont Blanc Unlimited pass.
