Chamonix is a stunning town located in the valley within the shadow of Mont Blanc and the most spectacular mountain scenery.
It is a bustling all year round town with scores of hotels and restaurants, visitors and some of the best skiing in the Alps. The car-free centre is full of atmosphere, with cobled streets and squares, beautiful old buildings and a fast-running river. Infact, there is plenty to do for everyone, whether skiing, hiking, climbing, golfing, mountain-biking or just taking in the spectacular scenery. This is a proper international resort of repute.
Ski: The Chamonix valley provides skiing for all abilities, however it is a mecca for strong intermediates and experts. With lots of off-piste skiing. There is 152kms of piste which provides plenty of skiing for a week.
The fact that more people visit Chamonix in the summer than the winter, just demonstrated how much there is to do here in the summer!
