Chamonix Le Pass 

The Chamonix Le Pass, often known as CLP, grants access to some of Chamonix’s wonderful ski areas, situated at altitudes ranging from 1,000m to 2,500m. This pass makes an excellent choice for beginner and intermediate skiers as it covers various slopes, nevertheless it’s crucial to note that it does not include access to the Les Houches ski area or the L’Aiguille du Midi cable car, used for La Vallee Blanche.

If you are looking to buy your pass before November 30th, you can choose the discounted MBU Early Bird option if your skiing plans fall within the following Saturday 4th January to Friday 7th February 2025 & from Saturday 15th March to Sunday 28th March 2025.

However, if your skiing trip falls outside these specified dates, you can choose between the Mont Blanc Unlimited or Chamonix Le Pass options. In cases where your visit spans multiple periods, you can purchase passes for each relevant period, such as a few days of Early Bird and a few days of regular passes. This way, you’ll have two badges—one for each period—and save some money during the Early Bird period.

Furthermore, if your skiing adventure falls within the Early Bird timeframes, you have the option to purchase an Early Bird Mont Blanc Unlimited pass at a cost equivalent to that of CLP with all the benefits of the MBU pass.

The Chamonix Le Pass offers unlimited access to the following Chamonix areas:

• Le Brévent-La Flégère area (Chamonix)
• Balme area (Tour – Vallorcine)
• Les Grands Montets/Argentière (excluding the “top-top” cable car, which is temporarily closed)
• Les Planards, Le Savoy, Les Chosalets and La Vormaine—family-friendly ski areas at lower elevations (subject to snow conditions)

Additional information:

Moreover, the pass provides access to the Chamonix Bus Shuttle service within the Chamonix-Mont Blanc municipality. Additionally, you have the option to upgrade your Le Pass ski pass to a Mont-Blanc Unlimited ski pass at any time by paying the price difference between the two passes of the same duration over the counter at each ski area, as it is not available online.

Each ski pass requires the purchase of a non-refundable rechargeable smart card priced at €3.50 per pass and notably, ski passes for durations of 10 days or more require a photo.

As for ski pass age categories, they include

Baby (0-4 years, FREE), Children (5-14 years)

Important points to remember:

Upon purchasing the pass, you’ll also receive a “badge” which serves as your pass card. These badges are mandatory and should be easily accessible for scanning at each lift and it’s advisable to keep them in a different pocket from your mobile phone.

Furthermore, all passes are subject to the terms and conditions of the Compagnie du Mont Blanc and are non-refundable once used. Therefore, we strongly recommend obtaining comprehensive travel insurance to cover any potential risks related to your pass and holiday.
