Six days is the gold standard for a week-long ski holiday in Chamonix. It gives you enough time to explore multiple mountain peaks, take day trips to neighboring valleys, and experience world-famous alpine sights like the Aiguille du Midi.
When booking a 6-day ski pass, deciding between Chamonix Le Pass and the Mont Blanc Unlimited (MBU) pass is the most important decision you will make. Here is a clear breakdown to help you select the best pass for your week on the slopes.
6-Day Price & Value Comparison (2026/27)
For a 6-day duration, the price gap between the two passes narrows significantly—especially when taking advantage of early booking promotions before 30 November 2026.
| Pass Category | 6-Day Chamonix Le Pass | 6-Day Mont Blanc Unlimited |
|---|---|---|
| Adult Rate (15–64 yrs) | €312.00 | €374.30 |
| Child / Senior Rate | €265.20 | €318.20 |
| Family Pass Rate | €967.20 | €1,160.40 |
| Resort Coverage | Brévent, Flégère, Balme, Grands Montets (lower) | All Chamonix + Les Houches, Italy, Megève, Midi & Trains |
Why the 6-Day Mont Blanc Unlimited Pass is Recommended
For a €62.30 difference over an entire 6-day holiday, the Mont Blanc Unlimited (MBU) pass offers substantially higher value and flexibility. Here is why over 85% of week-long visitors choose the MBU pass:
- Includes Aiguille du Midi Cable Car: A single return trip to the Aiguille du Midi costs €75+ on its own. With an MBU pass, it is completely included.
- Includes Montenvers Mer de Glace Train: Visiting the glacier and ice cave without the MBU pass costs around €38 extra per person.
- Access to Les Houches: Les Houches offers the best tree-lined skiing in the valley when high-altitude wind or snow closes top-station lifts at Brévent or Grands Montets.
- Day Trips to Italy & Megève: On a 6-day stay, you have time to spend a day enjoying Italian sunshine in Courmayeur or skiing the vast slopes of Megève—both included on 2+ day MBU passes.
The Verdict: Unless you are a absolute beginner who will spend all 6 days on the nursery slopes at Savoy or Les Chosalets, the 6-day Mont Blanc Unlimited pass easily pays for itself within 2 to 3 days.
