Chamonix in French Alps

Due to the overriding cost of skiing in a European alpine village in Passo Tonale, especially with 2 children who actually count as adults from the point of view of Ski Pass and Ski School, we decided to do it ourselves, like a self made holiday, booking all the different individual areas ourselves.

The first of course was the issue on where to actually go skiing, so we researched the internet and found a very reasonable apartment in the resort of Les Houches, which is actually within the Mont Blanc ski region, which also includes the Chamonix area, hense the header title for my blog. "Chamonix In French Alps", it turns out to be within an hour drive of Geneva airport Switzerland.

Geneva is a very accesible airport from my home town of Liverpool in the UK, the flight time is about 90mins at the most, so after a quick hire car from airport to resort, we should be in the apartment, 4hrs after leaving the house, not bad eh!
