BASS Chamonix is dedicated to making the whole winter sports experience in the Mountains the "best it can be" providing a friendly approach for first timers and experts alike. Commenting on the coming season for BASS Chamonix, Director Shona Tate said, “We are ready to provide skiers with a warm welcome to the Chamonix Valley this season and with the addition of Alison Culshaw to our small but elite team we are looking forward to helping holiday makers achieve their skiing goals.
Whether first timers or regular skiers who always take ski lessons we plan to make it an enjoyable experience with the benefit instruction in English! “No Mountain is too high or too small it's just how you tackle it!”
