Les Contamines - Hauteluce Ski Resort France

Les Contamines - Hauteluce ski resort straddles the Haute Savoie & Savoie in the heart of a massive French Alps skiing region near Mont Blanc. In a quiet valley between Megeve & Chamonix, Les Contamines has 120km of trails & a lusty skiable vertical of over 1,300m; enough to pique the interest of any self-respecting powder hound. As well as great value local lift passes, anyone with a valid Evasion Mont Blanc or Mont Blanc Unlimited Lift Pass can ski at Les Contamines-Hauteluce.

Les Contamines - Hauteluce Accommodation

Convenient to one of the French Alps most expansive ski resort regions in the Haute Savoie, but also just a little ‘off the beaten track’, the village of Les Contamines-Montjoie is the livelier staging point to ski Les Contamines-Hauteluce. The main ski lift up the mountain is only a short walk from the centre of town.

In winter, Hauteluce, the resorts opposite village across the range in the Savoie, is a far quieter alternative. The village is quaint but not quite convenient to the ski lifts, still 5½km to Ruelle ski lift base at Belleville.
