"The ski areas were fantastic and very quiet at the time we were there. I think the family lift pass is great value for money and the lifts very professionally run. I would definitely return...."

The MBU 'UNLIMITED' ski pass, https://www.montblancnaturalresort.com/fr/?_ecmp=huski

This ski pass is the best option for those guests who'd like to ski everywhere within the Chamonix valley (Les Houches to Le Tour) and is in essence the "Chamski" pass with the Aiguille du Midi, top cable car at Les Grands Montets included. The MBU also includes Courmayeur (2 day or more skipass) Megeve and St Gervais and incredibly if you purchase the 6 day (or longer) pass, 50% off a 1 day pass for VERBIER is included. This pass also affords the best value for families who'd like to ski all the area's of Chamonix and especially LES HOUCHES. Ski pass includes free SKI BUS. (Restrictions apply with Cham Le Pass) Other benefits include 'Cham-val' and a go on the luge!

**SPECIAL OFFER** discounts available on this pass for all pre-paid skipasses (certain periods only) purchased before 29/11/2022.  **EARLY SNOW** discounts available on skipasses during December. Contact us for details. Families pay 2 adult rates plus 2 child rate and remaining 3 children ski free! NB To ski Les Houches you will need to purchase a 2 day or more skipass. 

If you prefer not to ski everyday, especially for consecutive days, you can purchase day passes in advance on a dynamic price basis. You choose the dates you want to ski and purchase individual days which can be up to 40% cheaper than on the day. This format does take some planning but it's another option available.

The Les Houches ski passes

Various options are on offer JUST for the Les Houches ski area. We would recommend the skiing in Les Houches for families with beginners for the week (with ESF ski school) and for bad weather days when it tends to be the only ski area open. It's also worth buying a day or 4 hour pass on your arrival or departure days and buying the MBU skipass thereafter.
We can suggest the best options for your personal circumstances. Buy online in advance and save !

The CHAMSKI ski pass

This is a 1 - 21 day pass which covers you only for certain ski areas and for lifts between 1,000m to 2765m. A good option for weekend skiing however although this pass does not cover Les Houches (but you can upgrade to an Unlimited at any time) You can ski 6 days out of 7 days on this pass. Skipass includes free SKI BUS. This pass is also sold as a 4 HOUR PASS for 39€ per person.

Note. The CHAMSKI pass does NOT include Aiguille du Midi lift or the second stage cable-car in Argentiere, Les Grands Montets (superb off-piste areas best undertaken with a mountain guide) You can buy these tickets separately and in busy times these are timed to a certain bin departure.

Ski Insurance

It is a condition of booking that you have FULL TRAVEL AND SKI insurance. 

As an additional insurance you can purchase Igloo insurance at 3 euros per day. This can be added to your badge at the ticket office (but must be done before you first use the pass)

Other Options FAMILIES

Family Cham-ski , 'Unlimited' passes AND FAMILY LES HOUCHES skipasses available for parents and grandparents. Pay for 2 adult passes, two children and remaining children ski for free (3 extra kids max). Please discuss your requirements with our Rep or office staff in advance so we can recommend the best pass for you! Small children under 4 ski for free (but they need a badge to go through the turnstiles)

Please note that Skipass prices are given in Euros. Payments for Skipasses are made by Credit card in resort in local currency. We have your best interests at heart when recommending which ski pass to buy. It's your responsibility to make the final decision on which pass so be well informed by reading the above and talking to us and please don't blame our chalet staff if you choose the 'wrong' combination of skipasses!
