Chamonix in France has the altitude for great spring skiing

Off piste trails, high altitude skiing, and overall wonderful conditions are all reasons that Chamonix in France is an amazing resort location to head out to for spring ski holiday.

At Chamonix around 90% of all the ski areas are at altitudes above 2000m, which allows most trails to stay open and skiable well into the late spring.  In fact, the trails of the Grands Montets which surround the Chamonix resort offer piste heights of 3300m, which is why annually Chamonix is the last ski resort to close with a final ski date of May 9th.

Up in the mountains, every April shower brings fresh powder not rain, so before you put your skis away consider making it out for one last ski holiday.  In fact, spring is one of the best times to experience Chamonix due to its 20km Vallee Blanche piste and many backcountry trails that take adventurous skiers all around the valley area.

Those who do not have a lot of ski experience or families with small children also find that spring is the best time to hit the slopes because of milder conditions and a wider array of activities off piste.

For example, the Chamonix resort area boosts an ice rink, indoor swimming pool, indoor tennis courts, dog sleigh rides, an English cinema, and a bowling alley.  The mild conditions also make it the perfect time to explore the Chamonix resort by heading off on one of the many valley hiking trails or simply heading into the city to check out the active après ski activities.
