Les Contamines is an unspoiled traditional settlement that sprawls out over the surrounding area. Access to the lifts is via a shuttle bus form the centre of the village, and this takes you to a ski area that ranges from 11060m to just under 2500m, has 120km of piste and is served by 24 lifts. Although Les Contamines is not particularly high altitude, it is known for its good snow record. Located just one hour from Geneva, Les Contamines is conveniently located and it is also possible to take day trips to Megeve, Chamonix and Les Houches. Read more...
The resort's ski area has four sections: Tierces has the hardest black runs, and great panoramic views that take in Mont Blanc; Roseletta has the most extensive off-piste options; Hauteluce and Montjoie largely contain easier pistes including reds and blues. There is something for everybody here, and skiers report that long, rolling reds and blues, as well as the off-piste opportunities in Les Contamines, are particularly memorable. Snowboarders are spoilt with two snowparks, containing jumps, boxes, rails and more, and there is over 20km of cross country track for those so inclined.
