Visitor Reviews of Chamrousse
Jo from United Kingdom writes:
We visited Chamrousse last Jan (10) and are set to go again on Saturday. We had an amazing time. We are advanced skiers with young children and after a week in the resort they are intermediate level and confident on blues and reds. Can't wait to get back this year to try the ski cross run on our new twin tip/all mountian skis!
Highly recommended to families with young kids or general beginners. We had fun as advanced skiers on the olympic runs and blacks but plenty there for all.
