Top 9 Shopping in Chamonix, Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes
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).

Fantastic drinks emporium! Not just wine, which is their main item, but beer and spirits too! Lots of seating so you can also enjoy a drink there too. Worth a visit.

Thanks for stopping by! You've found Chamonix's oldest, friendliest and best-known snowboard, ski & bike shop. We've been here since 1987, during which time we've been the stop-by spot for every big name rider who's passed through Chamonix - from Darren Berreclough to Jeremy Jones. Our full workshop is open year round for repairs of skis and boards, mountain and road bikes...And year on year we rent the nicest boards & bikes out there.

I bought my snowboard, boots, bindings, bag, helmet, and goggles at Zero G. The service I received from 3 different sales people was just amazing. It had been 10 years since I had snowboarded properly and wow how technology has changed! I was treated very kindly and with patience by my snowboard sales guy. It was so busy being the Christmas period, but he never made me feel rushed. I was able to try a few different boards with their 'try before you buy' service which was just a huge relief as I really didn't know what I wanted and liked anymore in terms of the latest tech. They have a good range of boards, and everything to be honest. Great quality also. The bag I bought was well priced and organic which I love. I wouldn't go anywhere else to get snowboarding stuff. Thanks so much guys!!

Passion et expertise. Ce sont les valeurs qui animent l’équipe de Snell Sports. Ouvert depuis 1934 le magasin a su se développer, s’adapter et proposer des produits toujours plus techniques répondant aux besoins de tous les pratiquants. L’été, Snell Sport fait la part belle au trekking, trail running, escalade, yoga, lifestyle… La saison terminée, le magasin se métamorphose pour laisser place aux pratiques hivernales et les nouveautés textiles, alpinisme, ski, freeride ou encore ski de randonnée s’affichent en rayon.

I hired ski touring equipment from here and received excellent service. Prior to going I had emailed from the UK and found the communication very good and helpful. Thibault, especially, was a great member of staff. The equipment I hired was good and the shop itself well-stocked.
