A genuine paradise for all those who like wide open spaces!

A must-see attraction for travellers and adventurers alike for over 250 years.

Chamonix is a mountain resort in the heart of the French Alps, one hour by car from Geneva. It is typical small town nestling in the heart of the Alps, overlooked by Mont Blanc– the highest mountain in Western Europe – to the south, and by the Aiguilles Rouges (Red Peaks) mountains to the north.

Its rich history, its spectacular nature, and its varied and cosmopolitan atmosphere all go to make it an ideal destination both in summer and winter.
