Les Grands Montets
About
Les Grands Montets is a world‑famous ski domain perched on the southern side of the iconic Mont Blanc massif. With a staggering 24 500 m of vertical drop and over 110 km of trails, it offers something for every skier—from challenging black runs to gentle green and blue pistes for beginners. The area is famed for its spectacular panoramic views of the glacier, the surrounding alpine scenery, and its well‑maintained cable‑car network that connects the high‑altitude plateau to the valley. Whether you’re chasing fresh powder in early winter or enjoying sunny afternoons in late spring, the Grands Montets delivers an unforgettable alpine experience enriched with modern facilities, charming mountain restaurants, and a range of activities beyond ski and snowboard, such as scenic chairlift rides and the renowned Glacier des Cer‑Magues trail. Visitors typically spend around three hours gliding through the slopes, but the area is also perfect for family outings, couples seeking a quiet mountain escape, or seasoned ski enthusiasts looking to test their limits on the highest‐altitude runs in the region.
