Chamonix Guiding snowboard mountain guide in Chamonix
Chamonix Guiding is a site that combines my two passions, mountain sports, and shooting videos.
I hope this website will give you an insight as to what's going on, and what's good in and around the Chamonix Valley from a mountain guides perspective.

Summary
Chamonix offers some truly excellent freeriding and great natural freestyle terrain. It's not great for beginners and can suffer if there's not much snow. It's rough round the edges - but therein lies its charm. If you can, wait until there's fresh snow then jump in your car.
ON THE SLOPES: Fantastic
OFF THE SLOPES: Shoddy
MONEY WISE: A little dear (as is most of France), but can be budget boarder-friendly.
