Get to know Les Contamines Ski Resort

Les Contamines is a lovely small alpine village set in the Montjoie Valley tucked under the very foot of Mont Blanc, and it successfully marries the traditional cuteness of alpine scenery with the comforts of the twenty-first century. The provision of this resort as a ski resort in the twentieth century maintains a rural-like ambience of a village while being friendly to families.

Les Contamines has 120 km of varied slopes and is therefore considered to be part of the wider Evasion Mont Blanc ski domain. It is composed of easier slopes for first-timers, through to red and black slopes for experienced skiers and snowboarders. The stark benefit of this location is the quality of the snow and the season, which goes notably longer than other resorts.

It is connected also to nearby skiing resorts like Megève and Saint-Gervais which further open up more skiing slopes. Les Contamines is also a famous ski resort which one should get for the picturesque landscape, which is simply stunning: the Alps are seen in the distance.

Beyond skiing, there are many attractions in and around Les Contamines, such as ice-skating tracks, which come naturally, a leisure park, and a variety of restaurants and bars in the nearby villages that serve traditional Savoyard delicacies. Ecological commitment is one of the highest at the resort, with numerous programs designed to maintain the status of the territory.

Les Contamines is the ideal mix of activity and quietude where it is possible to acquire invaluable skiing experience, enjoy grandiose scenery, or just walk through the peaceful Alpine atmosphere.

Skiing and activities in Les Contamines

Skiing in Les Contamines offers a variety of options for skiers for beginners and for professionals; the difficulty of the ski slopes ranges from easy to difficult. The particular reputation of this resort is attributed to its tree-lined slopes and perfect snow that makes it the best bet for both families and the professionals.

Beginner slopes are mid-mountain paths that are suitable for beginners, and intermediate to advanced slopes as steep and challenging reds and blacks for the more adventurous.

Les Contamines skiing: an overview

Located at a lower altitude than some of the other local resorts made Les Contamines a destination for French family daytrippers who could time their visits according to the snow coverage. Thankfully, the installation of numerous snow cannons has extended Les Contamines to become a much more snow-sure destination. The ski season tends to run from December through to April.

The runs around Les Contamines and Les Contamines 1100 are mostly greens and blues, although accessing the more challenging runs around Les Contamines and farther afield is straightforward. Reds, a few blacks, and a good off-piste variety are all within easy reach.

If fun parks are your thing, then access to Les Contamines in the Grand Massif will see you richly rewarded. The HO5 Park by the Calcédoine piste in Les Contamines enables freestylers to choose between different levels of kickers, rails, and boxes. There are also three half pipes, and to relax afterward try the trail ‘Ze Forest’ with banked curves that lead through the forest.

Non-skiing activities in Les Contamines

While this may be a paradise for skiers, Les Contamines also has a lot to offer in terms of other winter activities. The resort has many beautiful snowshoeing and cross-country skiing trails during wintertime through the beautiful scenery and the alpine forests. There are some tourist services available in the winter, and one of the most interesting is snowshoe excursions, which are provided by the local tourist centers and allow for the observation of some otherwise inaccessible areas in a silent way.

But for those who seek an adrenalin rush in a different form, Ski touring is gradually picking up here and routes to suit first time tourers as well as the professionals are available. These tours offer a tranquility that is lost in the ski slopes, giving a rather reflective activity in the snowy mountains.

The area is a village ice rink and it is a popular spot for families as it provides an upbeat environment which is appropriate for developing skill in skating. Sledging slopes are also provided to have the fun for children and the young hearts, after which every day ends with good entertainment.

Things to do in Les Contamines village

The village is active all winter with programmes and events all lined up to provide for the themed holidays for all age groups. These include sleigh rides, the conventional ones too, music and dance shows, and festive celebrations. That is why it is possible to recognize such a non-standard local activity as skijoring, during which people are pulled on skis by horses, as wonderful.

To cater to leisure, the village features a number of facilities such as spas and swimming pools, which tourists can use after a day’s activity on the slopes. These facilities are involved in providing therapeutic needs and massages that will suit a body that has been overworked or engaged in hard exercises.

Family-friendly and kids’ fun in Les Contamines

Children are very much welcome in Les Contamines; indeed, this resort is quite specifically geared towards families. The Village des Enfants, as a certified childcare center, offers a safe and stimulating environment for children ages six months to ten years. Here, children can engage in any of the activities at their comfort per their ages, including skiing lessons as well as arts and games.

It is believed to be built away from congested areas of the resort because it believes in the creation of an atmosphere that is fun and knowledge-oriented. Activities are conducted under the care of professionals who make sure that the children are not only safe, but they are also enjoying themselves.

To thrill-seeking families, the resort provides special family tracks and beginner slopes for skiing for kids to learn and practice on. These territories are constructed to provide adequate security, and are usually manned with ski teachers and leads who make certain the skiing practice is safe and pleasurable for all family participants.

Les Contamines après-ski

Les Contamines après-ski

In Les Contamines, after-ski entertainment is equally welcoming to families and to people who would like to relax in a warm atmosphere after a day skiing. It is more serene than many other resorts with characters such as loud partying going on late into the night, which can be displeasing to many customers.

Local favorites include the Madison Pub, which is a worry-free environment for playing pool and with occasional live bands, very friendly for locals as well as tourists. Bar Le Bon Coin is yet another must-visit place for an early night out as its atmosphere is relaxed, perfect for drinking, and also good enough for telling evening stories.

Les Contamines in summer

Les Contamines summer activities

Les Contamines summer activities

For those who visit Les Contamines during summer, the fun is endless, with a host of activities within the backdrop of the Mont Blanc range. The area is particularly famous for the numerous opportunities for hiking and the presence of easy, intermediate, and advanced trails. The Tour du Mont Blanc, which is one of the major grandiose trails for hikers, goes through Les Contamines, so hikers can get unparalleled views and tough tracks here.

Another interesting and rather popular activity is wild bathing, and there are several beautiful and clean lakes around, such as Lac de Jovet and Lac d’Armancette, where one may enjoy spectacular swimming in the crystal-clear water of alpine lakes. For those who look for more active activity, there is the so-called Via Ferrata – climbing route, where instead of ropes and harnesses, there are steel cables and ladders to go through the Alps in height.

Mountain biking is another activity that has been greatly developed in Les Contamines. Available in the resort are many tracts, including easy-going tracts, tracts for rough riding, and tracts for downhill running. There is access to lift-assisted biking in order to let the riders climb steep gradients and then provision fantastic descents.

Top tips for an Alps summer holiday

Top tips for an Alps summer holiday

Before you leave for your alpine summer trip, think about the following points:

  • Prepare for All Weather: Mountains have their own climate, so be prepared for sun and heat in the daytime and cold in the evening.
  • Hire Guides for Outdoor Activities: It is advisable to hire guides for hiking, climbing, or mountain biking to increase the safety measures and experience. Local guides provide very useful information and they are capable of taking one through congested areas or unknown locations.
  • Get in Shape: In this regard, try to exercise a few weeks before the trip to increase your stamen and so that you can enjoy the physical activities without getting stressed.
  • Check Mobile Coverage: Some of the areas may have poor network reception particularly the areas of the regions covered with limited cellular network signals. Still, prepare yourself and the kids by downloading maps or bringing along conventional maps and compasses.
  • Make Reservations: It is advised to pre-arrange a stay at hotels and restaurants preferred before the start of the summer holidays because they are usually fully booked at this time of the year.
