Are you looking for a ski resort to go to on your winter vacations, or one where you can go ski touring? Are you wondering where to go to enjoy the sun all year round, while looking out over a magnificent landscape? Stop here, you've arrived: the Brévent - La Flégère ski area is for you!
Located just opposite Mont Blanc, the Brévent - la Flégère ski area is a must-see among ski resorts, thanks to its geographical position, its southern exposure which means sun all year round, and its slopes which cater for all levels of skier. Close to the resort, you'll find easy runs suitable even for children, while closer to the summit you'll find runs reserved for more experienced skiers, as well as off-piste for those who prefer to invent their own routes.
The resort comprises two villages, Brévent and Flégère, each within cable car range of Chamonix: to get to Brévent from Chamonix, simply take a gondola to Planpraz, then take the cable car to Brévent, at an altitude of 2,525 meters. To get to Flégère from Chamonix, all you have to do is take another gondola to the village of Les Praz, and from there take the cable car over the Golf de Chamonix to the Flégère site, at 1,877 meters.
