Situated above Argentière, the skiing area of Les Grands Montets can be accessed via the Lognan cable car and the Plan Joran chair lift. It is probably the most popular skiing area of the Chamonix Valley due to the high altitude (max. 3300m) and large amount of exceptional steep and difficult on- and off-piste runs. From here you get amazing views of the Chamonix Valley, the Argentière glacier, Mont Blanc, Flégère,and can even look across into Switserland. Although this ski area is mostly recommended for the experienced skier/boarder, there are also some long and wide slopes where daring beginners can improve their riding and skiing ability. The upper skiing areas, which can be reached by the Grands Montets cable car, are located on a glacier, and are great on a powder day. The runs here are not groomed and therefore require a good technical standard of skiing. Les Grands Montets also has a snow park catering to people of different abilities, where you can practise your jumps and see some of the best riders showing of their tricks.
