Things to do in Chamonix, Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes: The Best Classes & Workshops

July 29, 2021 Vivienne Hutton

As host of the first Winter Olympics in 1924, Chamonix will always have a place in the history books. Its main attractions are Mont-Blanc (Western Europe's tallest mountain) and the many ski areas that face the Chamonix Valley. Steep slopes and extreme weather conditions suit advanced skiers best, but there are also runs for beginners. Just make sure everyone in your party knows a green circle from a black diamond. Oh, and another note for the history books—Pierce Brosnan was here (filming a James Bond movie, The World Is Not Enough).

Ski Instructor Chamonix

I am originally from a ski resort in the Savoy region of France and am a fully qualified ski and snowboard instructor (French National Diploma) as well as a mental Coach and mental trainer. In the beginning, I concentrated my career on being a high level downhill skier, then I went on to obtain a commercial diploma and due to my inclination for skiing techniques, I went on to train children to a competition level in various ski clubs in France and abroad. The passion for skiing enhanced my love for the mountains and my experiences in other outdoor sports enabled me to acquire a good physical and mental condition. My formation courses at the Ski and Alpinism National School along with my own personal training gave me good sound knowledge of the security measures needed when in the mountains. I love to hike, run, ride bicycle, climb into the mountains, ski and ski touring and simply be into the nature and into the mountains by any weather conditions.I'm delighted to ski with you ;-)

I’m an intermediate skier and took a 3h lesson in Chamonix. It was really very helpful and I got to learn my weak points and learnt a lot of new technical tips from Christelle. She is a very good ski instructor and we had a very well spent time together. I feel that my skiing and confidence on the slopes definitely improved. The weather wasn’t that good, very windy and wet snow however it was the best to learn in tough conditions. Thank you!

I had three fantastic lessons with Alice and I cannot say enough good things about my experience. I am amazed by how much I learned and I also gained a lot of confidence during the lessons. I can be a timid skier, as an adult who is just learning, and Alice was able to push me without scaring me. And I had a lot of fun!

I'm in love with the French Alps and Chamonix in particular. My passion for the mountains, the activities they present combined with my passion for photography- is the best recipe for a photoshoot with me :-) My cheerful and enthusiastic nature helps people relax in front of the lens, which creates the best, fun and natural photos which you'll always treasure. A photoshoot with me will be a mini-Chamonix adventure and I'm excited to take you on it!
