The Cost to Ski for 2 Days in the French Alps | The price of skiing in Chamonix, France [4K]

- What an incredible first time experience skiing in Chamonix, the French Alps! This was the perfect 2-day trip to spend with friends and celebrate my 31st birthday in one of the most beautiful landscapes I've ever seen in France!
Breakdown of Expenses (watch the full video to see all the prices)
TRAVEL: The cheapest way to travel from Paris to Chamonix is by rideshare. Whether you have a car and travel with friends, or you hitch a ride from someone else using Blabla car, this will be the quickest, most efficient, and CHEAPEST way to get there!
HOUSING: Airbnb offers many "chalets" or little cabin style apartments to rent during your time visiting the Alps. We found an apartment in "Chamonix Sud" which seems to have the best prices with very similar apartments throughout that can host up to 5 people relatively comfortably!
RENTALS: In most towns you can find rental equipment, but I highly suggest getting your rentals from Chamonix Centre, because you will find the most competitive prices there!
LIFT TICKETS: You have the option of buying lift tickets at the location, or online. The best prices can be found online at () ...you can find half-day, full-day, multiple days, or even seasonal passes depending on how long you plan to stay in Chamonix :).
FOOD/DRINKS: In central Chamonix, be prepared for average/expensive prices for meals at restaurants. I would consider it very similar to the prices of certain restaurants in Paris. I highly recommend bringing sandwiches for lunch on a day you plan to ski all-day...otherwise find a lunch from a boulangerie (bakery) or supermarket at the bottom of the slope, and NOT ON THE MOUNTAIN if you're on a budget, because those are the most expensive meals you'll see in the region!
This ended up being a super fast trip and I wish I had more time (and money) to stay a full week in Cham! Hopefully next time because I will 100% be back because I'm motivated to get better at skiing!
Thanks for watching and seeya in the next one, ciao ciao for now ✌🏽.

Happy Birthday Dude. I have never Skied myself but it looks fun.
Thank you man! It's fun but definitely takes some time to get used to! I'm still not great at it, but it makes me want to ski again soon and keep progressing! ^^
@@JordanPatrick U did Great.
Nice to see such a memorable birthday. I have been to Chamonix in the summer. Beautiful hiking and a fun active village .
Thanks!! Yeah it ended up being a really fun birthday (and rather last minute planning ^^). I'll definitely think about going back for my birthday again next year, but spend a few more days there because 2 days was way too short !
Haha ! C’est rigolo !😂
Tu actualises régulièrement le contenu de tes vidéos.
À chaque fois, plus drôle, plus riche et plus intéressant aussi.
Merci Jordan ! 😉
Merci toujours pour tes commentaires! C'est très gentil !
Joyeux Anniversaire! 🙂
Merci beaucoup!
You ski better than me and I’m sure I’ve skied way more days than you have. Your parallel turns look great. I hope one to day I can do parallel turns like that and speak French half as good as you.
Bon Anniversaire 🥳🥳🥳 bogosse 😘😘😘
Merci c'est gentil !
Bonjour Patrick j'espère que tu vas bien je suis vue ton vidéo par hasard j'ai été avec moi au voisinage à Soustons . Et je te félicite pour la nationalité . Et bon anniversaire aussi 🎊🎊
Merci c'est très gentil!
Pour compléter l'équipement de ski, je te conseille de preciser de porter un casque, car les accidents en ski sont nombreux et les blessures peuvent etre tres graves. Je ne sais pas si c est disponible a la location en revanche.
Salut oui merci je suis d'accord ...et oui c'était disponible avec les skis et botes mais enfin je me suis dit que je ferai pas des pistes trop dures donc je l'ai pas amené ...mais la prochaine fois je vais le porter sans doute !
Joyeux anniversaire avec un peu de retard et pleins de bonnes choses. Vidéo très sympa
Merci beaucoup :) j'ai pas de tout prévu de faire une vidéo ce voyage, mais sur place je me suis dit pourquoi pas ! ^^
I mean skiing in Chamonix is great and you have to do it at least once in lifetime. But after that we always ski in Italy, it's a tad cheaper if you care about expenses
Thanks for the recommendation for the next time! Honestly I thought the prices were a bit high for such a short trip...but skiing in general is an expensive activity so I thought it was relatively reasonable. I'd say it's even less expensive than what I remember from skiing in California!
I'll definitely try skiing in Italy someday! (or I hear it's fun and even less expensive in Bulgaria! ^^)
@@JordanPatrick Skiing in Cali-Lake Tahoe is more expensive for sure.
The slopes look empty. Were the lift lines busy at all?
Please let me no is there a place to bring an rv or camper to park for a couple of nights love ur vidos
On est vraiment chanceux en France d'avoir tout à proximité avec une diversité géographique énorme, entre l'océan et les montagnes. Ton forfait ski coute cher ! Je vais dans une station plus petite en Savoie et j'en ai pour 200€ environ pour 7 jours de ski.
Ouiiii tout à fait ! La France est très diverse et jolie avec tous ses paysages ! Ah bon ?! Faut que j'aille en Savoie la prochaine fois du coup !
Awesome! How would you recommend a trip to Chamonix and Zermatt Matterhorn? Where to stay to hit both? Rent a car? What are the interesting day-trips for non ski days?
Hey thanks! I recommend staying in Chamonix town because you can easily walk to shops and restaurants. Having a car would be nice to get to different mountains, otherwise there are bus options but they aren't as comfortable when you have all of your gear and also take more time at all the stops. I was only there for a few days, so I didn't have any non ski days, but I'm sure there are some nice villages to visit in the area!
Was there in 2020 for 1 week, it was awesome!
Yes it's amazing there, hopefully I'll have a chance to go back this upcoming winter!
Chamonix is for alpinists , there are tons of other ski stations .
Honestly, besides the $140 drive needed to get there from Paris, the cost is pretty comparable to skiing in America
Yeah I agree, in fact I'd say skiing in the US the last time I went was even more expensive than France! (it's only the toll roads in France that took a hit on my bank account! Luckily we were 4 in the car and could split the costs! ^^)
Much cheaper than Vail Colorado
thanks! not to crazy expensive', looks so nice', too'. the swiss alps is how far away? peace
You're welcome! Yeah not too bad for a couple days! Swiss alps are sharing the same Alps mountain range, so not too far, it's just not easy to navigate through the mountains ...to get to the Swiss side, best to go through Geneva I reckon
what a great view...of your head.
LOL the camera zooms in way too much hahaha
💪🏽
I live in Chamonix, i can tell you that hiring a car is NOT the most economical way to get here! There are plenty of cheap buses coaches (swiss tours/flix) at about 15 euro plus transfers for approx 40. And please takes these options, we have a serious pollution issue in chamonix. if you do bring your cars please consider not iddiling then to defost your windscreen every morning! get scrapping and stop us choking !
There is also a train that comes directly into Chamonix
Salut ! Toujours à fond la forme !
Le ski ⛷ c’est plus facile au début que le snowboard 🏂 , pour les vrais débutants.
Puis rapidement, après 2 jours maximum, le snowboard devient plus facile que le ski.
C’est bizarre !😅❄️🏔
J'ai essayé le snowboard il y a 8 ans et ça a été mais je préfère le ski quand même car c'est plus facile d'arriver à l'hauteur de la montagne et continuer directement après le lift...sinon avec le snowboard faut connecter les botes etc LOL
@@JordanPatrick Je te confirme. Je pratique les 2 sports aussi. 😉
Switched off when I saw the face mask,,,,,FFS let it go, they never did fuck all
