Why Cassian from Belize Goes to Chamonix Haute Savoie
Chamonix town is a one of a kind town with the famous Monte Bianco as well as majestic glaciers. We enjoy going skiing or even taking the tourist train. I normally fly from Seattle and stay at a Chamonix chalet for the duration of my holiday.
My family and I previously visited Silvertree Hotel unfortunately it never lived up to its description: The Silvertree Hotel is Snowmass Village’s only full-service ski-in/ski-out hotel. Centrally located on Fanny Hill and the Village Mall, the Silvertree offers complimentary transfers to Aspen’s Sardy Field airport (approximately three miles). It is roughly a three-and-a-half-hour drive to Denver International Airport. The full-service gym includes a steam room, massage rooms, men’s and women’s locker rooms, an outdoor heated pool, whirlpool, and sauna. There are also two restaurants, lobby lounge and bar, concierge, on-site ski shop, ski valet, laundry service, business center, and meeting rooms. Nestled in an intimate valley high in the Elk Range of the Colorado Rocky Mountains, Snowmass Village has a variety of recreational or cultural activities. Select from dozens of fine dining experiences and shop the many unique boutiques. There are more than 20 restaurants within a short walk of The Silvertree Hotel. Just minutes away in Aspen are even more dining and shopping choices. Visit museums and fine art galleries, attend concerts, dance performances, theater, stand-up comedy, and film showings.
In comparison in Chamonix Haute Savoie the catered chalet is invariably brilliant. Likewise dining in our favorite hotel restaurant, Aaron Lopez, scoffing easter baskets is a delight. Chamonix France is a big enough destination to insure that there is plenty for the holiday maker to do. Amongst other things it includes a beauty salon and a shopping arcade of designer boutiques, Chamonix offers a combination of walking, old town charm and sightseeing which few ski resorts can match.
