RESORT:
Chamonix is one of the most internationally famous snowboard resorts in the world. It has excellent facilities and a snowboard vibe that is hard to match in any other alpine resort.
The cafe culture and nightlife in Chamonix are also superb with some of the most diverse options available.
Chamonix is legendary for Snowboarding! With roots that stem deeper into Snowboard history than almost any other resort in France, if you are a boarder then Chamonix is the place to ride and be seen in! The nightlife is very snowboard-orientated in many bars and the resort buzzes with life.
Beginner snowboarders have some excellent opportunities to learn to ride up at Le Tour and Brevant and will find a whole network of progressive slopes that will allow them to improve without being restricted to the nurseries.

Beginners
Although Chamonix is an exciting mountaineers resort, it has some excellent nursery slopes and one of the most dedicated and efficient ski and snowboard schools in France.
