Les Contamines Town Centre

In the heart of the Mont Blanc region at the end of a stunning valley lies the picturesque town of Les Contamines-Montjoie. Although it hosts a surprising amount of fantastic ski terrain around a huge undulating bowl, it is still a secret gem within the Haute Savoie region of France. The farming town has a much more authentic feel to it than the larger purpose built ski resorts and if you are after a relaxing week enjoying some great skiing followed by a nice glass of wine in the evening, then Les Contamines offers you just this.

The town has a friendly tourist office which will advise you on evening activities should you want to experience night time skiing, dog sledding and snowshoeing, a post office, a few gift shops and a range of bars and restaurants, that’s about it. However, the UCPA is large and offers its own evening entertainment as well as an indoor climbing wall , spa and nightclub.
