Chamonix Mont-Blanc

Aiguille du Midi in the Autumn Situated in the Haute-Savoie region of France, Chamonix is bordered by Switzerland and Italy and dominated by the mountain chain which peaks at the top of Mont Blanc (4810m) - the highest in Western Europe. This is a true year round resort and the area is busy for most of the year with a huge range of activities at the fore-front of people's minds.  The activities that can be enjoyed in Chamonix vary from the extreme mountaineering and skiing to sedate walks in the stunning scenery. Chamonix boasts its own golf course, indoor/outdoor swimming pool and sports centre. Whilst the principal town is of the same name 'Chamonix' is often used to cover the whole valley, stretching over 20kms to the Swiss border. Just a short distance away from Chamonix town are beautiful communes that make up the valley including Servoz, Les Houches, Les Bossons , Les Praz, Les Tines, Argentiere, Montroc and Vallorcine. View to the Grand Montets Chamonix has plenty to see. The Montenvers railway runs all year round taking tourists and alpinists to the famous Mer de Glace at a height of 1913m. Once at the top you can take a trip down to the glacier and explore the ice grotto. The Mer de Glace is one of the longest glaciers in Europe and makes part of the longest off piste ski run in Europe, the Vallée Blanche. The Aiguille de Midi sits at 3842m and is a play ground for mountaineers and for many the start of a Mont Blanc ascent. For tourist the two stage cable car ride provides unenviable views of the French, Swiss and Italian alps.     Click here to view our properties.
