Les Contamins is in the heart of the French Alps, with the attraction of the easy access.
The winter season, 15th December to end of April the village comes alive with activities and skiers! being at the end of the valley and right at the foot of Mont Blanc we are blessed with lots of snow,
In the summer in gets beautifully warm here, walk up into the cool of the hills and discover peaceful mountain lakes and cows grazing, Les Contamines is the start of the Tour of Mont Blanc, a 7 day trek around Mt Blanc through France, Switzerland and Italy... 9600 vertical metres.
Les Contamines-Montjoie area
Only a 5 minute drive or a 15 minute walk alongside the river and you're in Les Contamines village, offering you a wide range of ski hire, clothing and mountain equipment shops. French patisserie/ boulangeries for that fresh strawberry tart after skiing all day!! Supermarket, bars, restaurants (from gourmet, local fondue to take-away pizza) night clubs.

It also has a children's park, a large skate park, open air ice rink and a snow half pipe, if you haven't had enough skiing during the day practise your turns on the floodlit run in the village centre open for night skiing!
Just the other side of the village you will find Notre Dame de la Gorge, a second part to the ski resort, here you can do cross country skiing, take a ride in a husky sledge, horse ride, try the assault course, walk on marked trails through the woods in snow shoes (raquettes).
In the summer you can take advantage of the golf course, swim in the "life-guarded" lakes, archery centre, mountain biking, there is also a ski jump training facility. Les Contamines has as many activities to offer as you have energy! The world championship for ski-a-cross is held here every year and this course is ranked one of the hardest competitions, so it's pretty amazing to watch.
