Domaine Skiable de Balme (Le Tour/Vallorcine)

Located at the northern end of the Chamonix valley, Domaine de Balme offers a more relaxed, family-friendly skiing experience. Reaching up to 2,270m, it provides 29km of wide, open pistes, primarily blue and red, making it ideal for cruising and learning. The 'Charamillon' sector is great for beginners, while the 'Vallorcine' side, often sheltered, can offer excellent powder. Stunning views across to Switzerland are a highlight. Accessible by gondolas from Le Tour and Vallorcine. Operating hours 9:00 AM - 4:30 PM. Day pass prices are slightly lower than the main domains.
