Don't be put off! Chamonix may be world reknowned for being 'extreme' - and it is, if that's what you're looking for. But with 5 different ski areas on your doorstep, there's plenty to choose from, whatever your ability. Whether you're tasting snow sports for the very first time, looking for a family adventure, or you're a gnarly pro pushing for new lines and high altitudes. Chamonix has it all, and at Adventure Base, we can sort it!

From beginners to experts, we recommend lessons. We work with the top ski instructors and mountain guides in the Valley. Ski lessons have moved on, and these guys are among the best in the world to show you how. You'll be amazed. A few days' instruction to get you going, a couple of hours of private lessons to help you over that 'intermediate plateau', through to guided off-piste adventures with our partners at Dream Guides.
