Chamonix info needed
I'm off to chamonix this weekend for a stag do with a mixed bag of skiers
for 3 days skiing and the odd shandy. Is it better to just buy a daily lift pass for each area? ie I'm thinking of skiing one day at Le tour, one at Brevant and one at Argentiere. Can anyone recommend a good guide who will do half day off piste guiding for me, and can speak english? thanks, Greg |

There are dozens of Chamonix guides - one or two names spring to mind - Roland Steiger (French, but top bloke and v. good english - used on the rep's course) Dave Cumming, Steve Boyden, for example. The Ski Club's info service may have contact details, or just go along to the Bureau des Guides and ask. -- Ace (brucedotrogers a.t rochedotcom) Ski Club of Great Britain - http://www.skiclub.co.uk All opinions expressed are personal and in no way represent those of the Ski Club. |

The Ski Club's info service may have contact details, or just go along to the Bureau des Guides and ask. There are a large number of British Guides operating out of Chamonix, particularly in Argentiere. I usually stay in Argentiere and there is a new ski/mountain equipment shop on the high street which houses a branch of footworks and also is the office for one of the BMGs. You can get the contact details from URL:http://www.bmg.org.uk/search.html You'll see that a lot of them have addresses in or near to Chamonix.
