Chamonix Mont-Blanc

French Alps

The Skiers’ Mecca

Nestled in a deep alpine valley in the shadows of Europe’s highest peak, the Mont Blanc, Chamonix is known as the “Alpine Sports Capital” of the world. Chamonix is perfect for all levels from beginners to the most hardened backcountry/off-piste experts. The resort has the world’s highest lift-accessed vertical drop (9,200 feet) thanks to the Aiguille du Midi. After a day of skiing, Chamonix’s historic alpine village is ideal for a variety of interests ranging from shopping to fine dining, and then late at night, there are dozens of bars and dance clubs. Chamonix also has a rich sports history, having hosted the first-ever Winter Olympic Games in 1924, and offers world-class winter sports in every discipline.
