Chamonix Mont Blanc
Chamonix is world renowned as the skiing and climbing capital of the world. It hosted the first Winter Olympics in 1924 and since then has been a centre for extreme sports in both summer and winter.
But Chamonix offers far more to you than extreme sports. Sitting at the base of the majestic Mont Blanc (Europe's highest mountain) it is an area of outstanding natural beauty with an elegant and cosmopolitan town centre to couple with its internationally renowned ski area.
So what can you do in Chamonix?
Chamonix has without doubt some of the most beautiful and awe inspiring scenery to be found anywhere - not just in the Alps - with tumbling glaciers, soaring Aiguilles, one of Europe’s highest cable cars - the Aiguille du Midi at 3842m - the Mer De Glace and a beautiful alpine town.
There is plenty for the non-skier to do in Chamonix: an impressive sports and swimming complex, beauty salons, spas, ice rink, cross country skiing, paragliding, husky sledding, guided snowshoeing, cinema, museum, casino and weekly market with fresh local produce; and a plethora of shops, designer boutiques, bars, restaurants, terraced cafés and night-clubs. Chamonix offers a combination of skiing, old town charm, après ski, shopping and sightseeing, which few resorts can match.
