Living in Europe, we’re lucky to have some of the best backcountry skiing and snowboarding in the world on our doorstep.

Chamonix is built for exploring the backcountry. Its ace lift system means it’s just a short hike from the top of the lift to endless pow faces.

There is so much to explore here, you’d need a whole season to explore every gully and back bowl Chamonix has to offer. We’re big fans of the Aosta Valley side for quieter riding and the Tete de Balme for dodging trees. Plus Chamonix is just over an hour from Geneva Airport. How easy is that?

Chamonix Guides offer dozens of tours, so they’ll be able to get you off on the right foot.
