Chamonix

Mountains rule in Chamonix, where some of the world’s best expert skiing can be found on the jagged peaks and glaciers that rise 12,500 feet above the valley. A proving ground for alpinists, mountaineers and skiers from all over the world, Chamonix has more of an authentic alpine flair than resort glitz and glamour. Tucked beneath the shadow of 15,767-foot Mont Blanc, the power and beauty of this area are unmatched.

Claim to fame: Some of the most awesome and challenging skiing in the world on Europe’s highest, jaw-dropping peaks.
