Chamonix is a town in southeastern France known as the mountaineering capital of the world. It is located in the Chamonix Valley, surrounded by many peaks like Mount Blanc, the highest peak in western Europe.
It is also where Mount Dolent is – the peak where French, Swiss, and Italian borders meet. With Chamonix on the feet of the towering mountains, it is absolutely the best place in France to see spectacular ice-capped peaks and enjoy thrilling outdoor sports.
Chamonix has over 150 km of pistes and 15,000 acres of off piste skiing, and with a skiing altitude of 1035 – 3842 metres it has an excellent snow record, the season lasting from December to May.
