Indeed Chamonix town has a total of 5 individual snowboarding fields – Les Grands Montets, the tree lined Les Houches, sunny Brevent, Flegere and last but not least Le Domain du Balme – however only two of which are connected, this necessitates taking a bus or taking your car to the five different domains.
Therefore navigating one’s way around Chamonix can prove to be demanding, therefore a working knowledge of Chamonix certainly would help.
If the group is new to skiing holidays then having ski lessons from a Chamonix ski school would not be a bad start, they will advise you which Chamonix skiing pass to look into.
Plainly a map of the area will be useful, and these can be collected from either the Chamonix tourist office or at any of the skiing areas.
