Chamonix-Mont-Blanc has a very large vertical rise (9,186ft). As a guide, skiers will generally not be skiing top to bottom all day as the range is much too great. Most skiers would not even dream of skiing top to bottom without stopping. Chamonix-Mont-Blanc has a good range of terrain for skiers and snowboarders of all abilities. With 79 trails, it will take quite some time to explore the entire ski area.
