What a joke - famous for its offpiste skiing/snowboarding, you pay extra for using the top lift. Any lift in and around Chamonix besides Aqueil du Midi (which is not classically a skiing place either, it is just offpiste riders and visitors who come for the view of the Mont Blanc) is included in the skiing ticket but this one...

love it here at Grands Montets - great Red and Black runs along with off piste opportunity. Food good up the mountain and when there is a blue sky powder day this really is the place to be!

Maybe I was a bit lucky with the weather (snow), but this was some of the best off-slope skiing (that is accessible from a cable car). Especially the face of Les Grands Montets is excellent. Worth making a reservation on the cable car.

Nice ski area - not massively challenging but good to cruise about the reds and blues. Generally out of the wind all over
