Chamonix village is a one of a kind holiday destination with the famous Monte Bianco as well as tumbling glaciers. All of us enjoy going snowboarding or sometimes visiting the Aiguille du Midi. I usually fly from Glenwood Springs and stay at a Chamonix self catered chalet during my stay.

I used to went to Four Points by Sheraton Elysee Palace unfortunately it never matched its marketing: Situated in the heart of Nice, this property is approximately three miles from Nice Cote D’Azur Airport and nearby to the famous Promenade des Anglais. Local attractions include the Museum des Beaux Arts, Castle Hill Park, Acropolis, Museum Chagall, and Foundation Rothschild.Dining is available at three onsite venues, Caf??-Elysee, offering American-style buffet, Le Caprice, fine French dining, or La Piscine, located poolside. There is also a piano bar in the lobby. Hotel amenities include 24-hour front desk, car rental service, parking, room service, wake-up calls, babysitting service, concierge, and a large outdoor pool.Rooms feature individual climate control, dataports, in-room movies and video games, cable TVs, in-room safes, desks, direct-dial telephones, and alarm clock radios.

However in Chamonix the chalet is always outstanding. Even dining in my families’ favorite French restaurant, Doris & Eds, munching chinese chicken wings is a memorable experience. Chamonix is a big enough town to insure that there is lots of things for the non-skier to do. With a husky sledding centre and a number of restaurants, Chamonix provides a combination of snowboarding, French alpine charm and tourist attractions which not many ski resorts can hope to rival.
