One thing to note, especially if coming from the United States is that one must weigh his/her own produce and print the scanning code for the price before taking it up to the cashier. Produce is fresh, breads look bakery made and non perishable items plentiful.

Great Cigar shop. Came here for the Cubans. (Partagas, Upmann, Montecristos, and more) The prices…read moreare really good. The owner is a nice lady. They don't speak English but if you know some basic broken French you can get by. (Or if you know what you want just point and buy)

Such a missed opportunity to do something great - super location, great mechanics yet ownership…read morethat only cares about squeezing every penny out of each customer. I spent thousands of dollars there over the last couple of years and really found the mechanics top notch. But the first time I had a problem, it could have been simply solved and the owner wouldn't even address it. I was shocked after being a loyal customer I could only image how he must gauge tourists. When I told him about the issue I never asked for a specific resolution (just wanted to let the owner Martin, know I was charged for work I didn't request and the work I did request was never done) he had the chance to take accountability and make it right. Instead he told me any problems were between me and the employees he "had nothing to do with it". A terribly spineless way to run a business. Imagine bringing your car in for a brake job and because the mechanics thought it was old looking they give you a new paint job but never do the brakes!! Stay away from here, there is a great shop in Les Houches and a super place in Sallanches.

I purchased some Fitwell splitboard mountaineering boots from Zero G, and they are great boots but…read moreunfortunately I wasn't sure of my correct Euro sizing and the boots were too tight. At first I was bummed to learn that the free return policy only applies to customers in France, but after I explained how I missed this info, the team at Zero G was kind enough to hook me up with some product credit to compensate for the return shipping cost and even took the time to take my advice on making the policy more clear on their site. Solid customer service to go with their great pricing on high quality gear.

This store is similar to your typical Patagonia shop in the US, with slightly higher prices.

We used Intersport for two different reasons, renting Via Ferrata equipment and getting advice on…read morewhat to purchase for blister protection, and were pleased on both accounts. They only charged us a half-day rental even though I think we were a bit over on our time. Employee was very friendly, spoke English well, and was quite knowledgeable about the Via Ferrata we were doing. The Compeed blister aids were lifesavers. A bit pricey but couldn't have managed without them. I appreciated their staff being so well-rounded in their sports knowledge.

There are several Intersports in Chamonix - this is the newest one right in the centre of the town,…read moreon the main street. We had pre-booked ski hire and the process could not have been any more efficient. When we arrived, we were greeted instantly and attended to right away, with no waiting. The person thankfully spoke English (even though we had given our rusty French a go - badly) and we had no communication issues at all. The skis I was given were almost brand new - they were certainly new that season and did not have a mark on them. Later in the week, my ski instructor commented that I'd been given good skis and they were the right size and type for my height and skill level. This was not the case with other members of the group who had ordered their skis from elsewhere - the ski instructor even advised one girl that she should ask her ski provider for a different pair, as the ones she had been given were not suitable at all. Whereas we were very confident in the expertise and equipment provided by Intersport. On returning the skis at the end of the week, again we were seen to right away, no waiting at all - just a very easy and quick in and out. I would definitely use this Intersport again. I'd also popped in during the week to buy a Buff, as we had unfortunate weather. and driving snow was getting the better of my face. It seemed expensive - just under 40 Euros for a Buff, but let's face it, if you buy gear in a ski resort you know you are going to get fleeced on the price anyway, and I was happy to pay the price for convenience. Again, we were happy with the quality of the items on offer, and with the friendly service.
