Ski resorts and terrain
The magnitude of skiing and snowboarding terrain on and off-piste in Chamonix is sensational. Anticipate a vast network of over 60 lifts (though not interconnected). The majority of the ski surfaces are above 1.2 miles (1900 metres) by altitude. Four major ski resorts offer world-class snow sports in Chamonix Valley. There are 6 small skill hills, not to mention the Aiguille du Midi. The valley at Argentière is an advanced cliff with steep off-piste terrain. The mellowest area is at Balme Tour Vallorcine featuring less advanced trails for intermediate skiers and beginners and some tasty freeride powder. The best place for a beginner to learn is near Brevent. A savoy piste stands 0.64 miles (1049 metres) above sea level and offers two drag lifts plus a carpet for kids.
