A bit about Chamonix

4.6/5
WONDERFUL (516 REVIEWS)
516 REVIEWS
Located just under the iconic Mont Blanc, Chamonix is one of the most famous ski resorts in the world. Not only is it one of the oldest ski resorts in Europe, but as the birthplace of extreme skiing, the location’s dramatic scenery, vertical drops, challenging runs, and breathtaking off-piste terrain attract the most advanced global athletes. There’s no shortage of stunning views, but we highly recommend hiring a guide to catch a glimpse from Aiguille du Midi (3,800 m) down through the sweeping valley, which will take your breath away. This energetic town offers a diverse range of accommodations, nightlife, and plenty of non-ski activities including swimming, ice skating, and more. The perfect destination for advanced skiers to flex their skills in an unforgettable location!
