1.  How much is the lift pass?
There are 2 lift passes in the Chamonix Valley;  the main pass (Chamonix le Pass) will be €200 for 1 week for the 09/10 Winter Season.  This covers the 4 main skiing areas, with a more extensive pass (Mont Blanc Unlimited) covering the higher lifts costing €240 for the week.  There are various early booking deals this year, plus very good deals for families.  Please contact our in resort team, Mountain Lifestyle, for more detail.

2.  Which pass should I buy?
The Chamonix ski area caters for all levels and all types of groups and the choice of passes reflects that.  Please contact our team if you are unsure of which pass to buy.   

3.  Do I need a photo for my pass?
You only need a photo for passes for 10 days or more.  The pass is magnetic and should be kept on the left hand side for hands free access through the turnstiles.  There is a €3 deposit for each card, which is refundable or you can keep the card as a souvenir!

4.  Where can I buy my pass?
Firstly, our team can organise your passes to be ready for your arrival (free service).  Queues for passes, particularly on arrival days, can be long so the best solution is to take advantage of this service.  Otherwise, passes can be bought at the bottom of each ski area, or at the main ticket desk by the Montenvers rail station, just to the south-east of the town centre.  You can also buy your passes online, direct from the Compagnie du Mont Blanc, but you will still need to queue to collect them, if they have not been pre-delivered to your home.  Please note, family passes or special deals cannot be purchased online and there is a delay for delivery.
