If you don't want to pay for the elevator every time, it's much easier to buy a ski pass. When you come to Chamonix-Mont-Blanc, you can buy a ski pass that allows you to ski in three countries! That is, it covers all the slopes of the mountain, so the Italian resort of Courmayeur and the Swiss resort of Verbier will also be open to you. This ski pass is called Mont Blanc Unlimited.
A ski pass for a longer period of time is always cheaper. There are many discounts for pensioners, children and teenagers. There is also a family rate in Chamonix. The cost of a ski pass for one person (16-64 years old) is 60 EUR. Privileges allow to reduce the price of ski pass to 50 EUR, and the cost of a season ticket for pensioners for one day costs only 30 EUR. A family of two adults and one child will pay about 170 EUR.
A full season ticket for two weeks will cost 500 EUR for a single person, 1500 EUR for a family, 150-250 EUR for children and pensioners.
There are slightly cheaper ski passes for skiing within the valley. The price for one adult is 50 EUR, child - 40 EUR, pensioner - 25 EUR. The family rate is 130 EUR. This ski pass is called Chamonix Le Pass. It does not include only the Grands Montets peak, but all slopes from 1000 to 2500 meters are included.
