Brévent-Flégère
Also known as Chamonix
About the area
Brévent/Flégère above Chamonix offers 41 km of marked pistes, split into 5 km green, 10 km blue, 12 km red and 13 km black. With 37% of the terrain green or blue (15 km) and 31% black or expert, it works best for confident intermediates who want reds with some steeper options nearby. Families are well served: one magic carpet for first turns, four gondola or cable-car lifts with no chairlift loading for small children, and a base you can walk to. Beginners can start here, but the easy skiing is limited to 16 short runs near a lift base.
The area runs from 1046 m to 2485 m and is served by 18 lifts: 2 gondolas, 2 cable cars, 8 chairlifts, 5 platters and 1 magic carpet. Chamonix (1036 m) is the base, 327 m on foot from the lift. The longest run measures 4147 m, and the biggest vertical on a single descent is 684 m.
