Luxury Chalet Chamonix

Chamonix in recent years has without doubt risen the bar in terms of some of the best luxury chalets as a result of its competitive chalet market. Once a great historic town that had drifted into decay, partly due to the inverted snobbery that Chamonix was a mountain town and certainly not a place for glitz. Today however it has thankfully found the perfect balance; high up its a place to show off your well homed mountaineering and skiing repertoire, whilst in the town centre it is the place to be seen. Great sports shops, restaurants and bars, entwined with designer boutiques from the well known designer brands. Chamonix's move up market has culminated with a real influx of new chalet operators, drawn by its endless sporting activities, and its chic, cool to be seen allure. As a result, a number of high end chalets have found sprung up, increasing the competition that is sadly lacking in other resorts.

Ski New Year

If you are looking for great New year ski deals then you may struggle, however a new site called New Year Ski will at least help identify what is available n this ever increasingly popular week. Its always been a sell out but each year the "No Availability" signs seems to be posted and last year by the end of September it seemed even a stable might have been a hard place to find in the Alps. Apparently New Ski should help with this problem and will place up to date availability on what is still available and where when it launches later this summer. Sounds great, it'll just however be interesting to see what is available!
