Summary: Skiing in the French Alps is breathtaking not only for the beautiful and varied terrain, but also the incredibly affordable cost when compared to ski resorts in the United States. Ski passes are available that grant access to multiple resorts that don't require any transportation from one to the next other than the two boards on your feet. Of course, if you want to splurge and spend more, luxury options abound!
Chamonix is a French commune and ski resort/village in the Rhône-Alpes region in south-eastern France. It was the site of the first Winter Olympics in 1924. The north side of the summit of Mont Blanc is part of Chamonix.
