Why choose Chamonix
Situated at the foot of Mont Blanc, Chamonix provides a truly special location for UK school groups. Offering a broad range of skiing to suit all levels, a school ski trip to Chamonix also provides students with a number of après-ski options. Unlike many other French resorts, Chamonix is a large town where the fun continues off the slopes. With plenty of restaurants, cafes, shops, and even museums, there is plenty for school groups to enjoy. Experience one of the most spectacular sights France has to offer with a trip up the Aiguille du Midi after a day on the slopes to see up close the peaks of Mont Blanc. Your school may also wish to include a half-day educational trip up to the Mer de Glace to learn more about the famous glacier.
