Ski lovers don't go abroadnot only to the pompous Courchevel, but also to the ski resort of Chamonix, which is in no way inferior in terms of comfort and service, but pleases with more affordable prices. This place reminds many of a fairy-tale kingdom from children's dreams, where the sun's rays reflect off the clean snow, and the mountain peaks, similar to the spires of palaces, appear against the background of a bright blue sky. The resort is located in a valley on the border of three European countries: Switzerland, Italy and France. So, buying last-minute tours to Chamonix, you can visit their most famous attractions in between skiing. The total length of all the resort's trails is considered the longest in Western Europe. There are trails for professionals here - the most beautiful and unpredictable of them is on the Aiguille du Midi slope. Beginners will also find places to ski - they are recommended to Le Flégère and Le Tour, where there are "blue" and "green" slopes. And they can get help from an instructor if they want. There are over two hundred lifts in the Chamonix Valley that can take skiers to the top of the best slopes. The Grand Montets mountain range is especially popular. Buses run from the hotels to the ski areas, so getting to a cozy room after a long ski trip will not be difficult. The hotel administration also ensures that vacationers can have fun in the evenings, offering various show programs with the participation of professional artists. Fans of the "nightlife" will find clubs, restaurants and bars in Chamonix. There are also tennis courts, sports complexes, casinos and cinemas. But the main visitors to the resort are fans of skiing. If the weather is not conducive to skiing (sometimes a storm warning may be announced, then all the slopes are closed), then you can go through the eleven-kilometer Mont Blanc tunnel and go to Italy. Or, remembering that you were offered last minute tours to Saint-Tropez, go "on reconnaissance" to the French Riviera, so that, upon returning to your hometown, you can book them for the summer in the hotel that suits your taste. Every year, about five million tourists from different countries of the world come to Chamonix for a vacation. Not only skiers and snowboarders have chosen this place, mountaineering and rock climbing enthusiasts also willingly come here. It is not for nothing that this resort has firmly established itself in the list of the best places for a vacation in the Alps.
