BASE CAMP CHAMONIX
Chamonix: the world capital of freeride and steep skiing! This is an ideal base camp for those seeking to discover the steep lines and couloirs within the Mt. Blanc range.

If conditions are not ideal on the French side of the mountain range, it is possible to reach Verbier, Courmayeur, the Helbronner and other ski areas nearby with a short drive. After many years of searching, Peakpowder confirms that Chamonix is unique. Not only does this area offer great diversity in the types of terrain, but most of all, there are no down days.
