Chamonix
Registered on the world heritage list, Chamonix, the birthplace of mountaineering is internationally renowned for its exceptional environment. Sited at the foot of Mont Blanc, Europe's highest summit, the views from Chamonix are truly awesome. You cannot fail to be impressed being surrounded by so much beauty with its high mountain scenery, majestic ice falls and glaciers, and one of Europe's
highest cable cars and
cog railways that take you on a journey through time.
This is a beautiful alpine town; witness to 250 years of
mountaineering history. There are traditional villages and hamlets scattered along the 20km long valley and above all a heart and soul, beating to the rhythm of all those that live and love Chamonix.
Chamonix has some of the best skiing available, with endless off-piste possibilities with some of the top guides in the world, or for the beginner and intermediate skier with over 310km of pisted terrain on the unlimited pass, Chamonix has something for everyone, whatever their ability. 90% of the ski areas are located above 2000 meters, making it a 'guaranteed snow resort'
Whether you are visiting for a short weekend break or for longer, its proximity to Geneva airport (1 hour transfer) also makes it a very accessible mountain resort.
