This is one of the best ski season in the Alps that I can recall. Lot of snow.....
The good thing about going in Chamonix is that you can ski there of course but also in Courmayeur (italy), Verbier (swiss) which is included in your week pass.
Best Restaurants on slopes:
Courmayeur : Maison Vieille Jacomo serve in this refuge a delicious mountain Italian cuisine. The place is always full. Checco, the cuisine is a bit more sophisticated and the ambiance is very Hippie Chic.
Verbier: Chez Dany, Kalberg café
Chamonix Valley:
La Flégère: La Chavane, only if the weather is nice because it is outdoor. They have a live DJ on Saturday. You can have Champagne and Caviar on the slope! and may be a jacuzzi!
Le Tour: coté Vallorcine le Café Comptoir, this restaurant open last spring ...good food, nice decoration. You can also try Les Ecuries on the other side.
Les Grands Montets: La cremerie, the speciality here is cheese on bred. very nice little wood cabana in the forest. Very authentic
Aiguille du Midi: Refuge du Requin for the "haute montagne" ambiance and the incredible view on the Vallée Blanche.
For shopping my favorite boutique are : head to Megève (30 mm drive from Chamonix) discover this beautiful Haute Savoie ski village and spend some money at one of my favorite boutique: Mahé (Acne, Laurence Doligié, Paul&Joe...). If you have some extra time, go to Geneva (45 mm drive) and look for the Drake boutiques (Dsquared2....)
