Chamonix

The elegant and vibrant Chamonix is located at the foot of the famous Mont Blanc. The mountain towers over the town, nestling it between sharp, rocky sides; the scenery here is perhaps one of the most dazzling in the French Alps. The snowy peaks rise into sky and glaciers stretch towards the valley floor. The town has always been a desired destination for those who love the outdoors whether skiers, mountaineers, or hikers. You can choose among a large number of ski runs along the valley, while in summer the lifts access hiking and biking trails that will take you in the middle of nature, surrounded by lush green hillsides and breathtaking panoramas.

Along with the undeniable beauty of the mountains, Chamonix is also popular thanks to its cosmopolitan feel: the downtown hums with life year-round. The busy streets are filled with local upscale restaurants, stores, and some of the area’s most chic hotels.
