The Chamonix Valley extends along 30 km and includes the villages of Servoz , Les Houches, Chamonix, Argentière and Vallorcine. It is one of the most visited natural sites in the world for its breathtaking scenery (the Mont Blanc 4810m, the Mer de Glace, France’s largest glacier, the Aiguille du Midi, the highest cable car in Europe 3824m and the Panoramic Mont-Blanc gondola, an aerial journey to Italy across the glaciers). Click HERE to access our website and take a virtual visit.

Many are the summer activities on offer to both the sports enthusiasts and families : 350 km of hiking trails and a choice of 30 different outdoor activities, for both children and adults (mountain biking, tennis, golf, water sports including an aquatic center, hiking, trail running, mountaineering, paragliding, climbing, yoga excursions etc…). But Chamonix is also a vibrant town with outstanding recreational facilities and  a choice of over 100 restaurants spas and hotels

And this summer, Chamonix Mont-Blanc will be celebrating the 150th anniversary 1865: an eventful year when the Golden Age of Alpinism (1854–1865) reached its climax. 1865 was immortalized by 65 first ascents across the Alps and 7 in the Mont-Blanc Massif including the Aiguille Verte, the Grandes Jorasses and the remarkable Brenva Spur on Mont-Blanc! Click HERE to access the full 1865 program.
