Les Contamines Montjoie is a traditional and very pretty Savoyard village which is a popular ski resort full of charm and friendliness. Located in a forest in the heart of the Mont Blanc mountain range and surrounded by some of the most sumptuous landscapes in the area.

For those preferring a more relaxed grocery shop; there is a weekly market on a tuesday in the village square, selling all the usual local specialities - including delicious local reblechon cheese.
The Ski-ing: The telecabines are easily accessible either on foot (within 15 minutes), via the local bus which stops just outside the apartment door, or via your car. As well as the downhill skiing and snowboarding there is a good cross-country ski area. During the winter months there is an ice rink in the centre of the village, as well as opportunities for sledging on the nursery slopes.
Les Contamines is a beautiful village with quiet slopes on the shoulder of Mont Blanc. Sandwiched between the famous resorts of Megeve and Chamonix, it is a pretty quintessentially French resort often overlooked - hence no overcrowded skiing. Its snowfall record is the envy of many big name resorts, and virtually all of the skiing is above 1900m. There is 125 km of snow-sure pistes as well as some excellent off piste skiing; time it right and you'll be getting fresh tracks all day.
There is skiing for all levels along with a snow park (championship level) and a half-pipe for snow boarders. There are also 2 nursery slopes in the village (one of which along with the half pipe are flood lit on certain nights of the week). The local ski pass is linked to the town of Hauteluce and there is also a 'Evasion Mont Blanc' pass which covers Les Contamines and another 420km of skiing in St. Gervais, Megeve and Combloux.
Further afield within a 30 minute drive are the resorts of Chamonix and Argentiere. If you hire a car - there is the opportunity for day trips to Les Gets (for the Portes du Soleil) and Samoens which links to Flaine. You can be in Courmayeur, Italy in about an hour, to see Mont Blanc from the Italian side, should you wish to ski two countries during your stay!
Summer activities: In summer the village attracts walkers, climbers, cyclists and those who enjoy the outdoor life. It comes alive throughout July and August, when the weather is at it's best. The telecabine opens for walkers and cyclists, opening up a huge area. It has hundreds of kilometers of marked paths in the valleys and foothills giving endless opportunities for exploring the high mountains For those who prefer to relax in the mountains, the views of the Mont Blanc Massif are imperious, particularly when you are enjoying them in relative solitude far from the madding crowds at one of the areas great mountain restaurants.
For mountain bikers, the resort offers an excellent range of bike facilities and trails which are suited to all level of riders. Bike hire is available in the village, with the ski lifts open to mountain bikers as well as walkers. Road Biking is one of the major French National Sports for a good reason. With the open space, the amazing scenery, the fantastic choice of mountain passes and the respect from car drivers, it makes cycling a real pleasure.
From our apartment you have a great choice of mountain pass routes varying in degree from a semi hard workout to something off the scale! There are a great choice of routes to suit all levels from complete beginners to the very advanced. You can follow scenic road routes; many used in the Tour de France, which often passes through the region.
On a more relaxing note, there is a large scenic swimming lake, and another Lac d'etape (at altitude), for a refreshing swim in alpine waters. Locally a golf driving range, 8 championship tennis courts, rock climbing school, mountaineering, parapenting, whitewater rafting and canyoning are available for those who like to keep busy.
A number of alpine towns and villages are an easy drive or bus ride away. Chamonix and Megeve offer a great day out. In addition Lake Annecy offers every sort of water based activity in one of Europe's most beautiful settings; often described the Venice of the region, it is beautiful on a sunny day and the local market is well worth a visit. Even Courmayeur in Italy is an easy day trip, through the Mont Blanc Tunnel.
