Chamonix

At a Glance

Chamonix is probably best known as the skiing and alpine capital of the world, but it is also a bustling and established market town rather than a purpose built resort so there is plenty to keep the non-skier entertained as well, and all in the most beautiful surroundings.

About Chamonix

With 200 years of mountaineering history to its name, Chamonix is a town where charm and tradition share the scene with modern resort facilities. The lively streets are a colourful mix of sport shops, guide offices, restaurants, bars and cafes. Every Saturday the town hosts an outdoor market brimming with local crafts and produce. There is a cinema, a bowling alley, an ice rink, a large sports centre with a pool, gym and indoor climbing wall and numerous museums. There are two distinct seasons here, summer and winter, but the area is busy for most of the year as there is such a wide array of sporting and leisure activities, peace and quiet, great nightlife, and superb scenery that can be enjoyed at whichever pace suits you.
