I have been going to Chamonix for several years now, both winter and summer, and it just gets better and better. The thing about Chamonix is not only does it have world class skiing, but it is a bustling beautiful town that has a huge array of bars and restaurants, fantastic varied accommodation and fabulous shops. I like to experience different resorts across Europe but whilst skiing may be great, the off-piste can be limiting and you will only go once. With Chamonix (and a few other bigger resorts) you get an ever changing resort, suitable to budgets of all sizes and plenty to do for non-skiers too. The summer there is also just as good as the winter! If you want a purpose built ski-in / ski-out ski resort, then Chamonix is not for you. If you want the original and authentic ski town, then I can't recommend enough..
