Les Contamines skiing: an overview

Located at a lower altitude than some of the other local resorts made Les Contamines a destination for French family daytrippers who could time their visits according to the snow coverage. Thankfully, the installation of numerous snow cannons has extended Les Contamines to become a much more snow-sure destination. The ski season tends to run from December through to April.

The runs around Les Contamines and Les Contamines 1100 are mostly greens and blues, although accessing the more challenging runs around Les Contamines and farther afield is straightforward. Reds, a few blacks, and a good off-piste variety are all within easy reach.

If fun parks are your thing, then access to Les Contamines in the Grand Massif will see you richly rewarded. The HO5 Park by the Calcédoine piste in Les Contamines enables freestylers to choose between different levels of kickers, rails, and boxes. There are also three half pipes, and to relax afterward try the trail ‘Ze Forest’ with banked curves that lead through the forest.
