What is it about Chamonix that makes it one of the most popular winter sports destinations in the world? The answer is simple. Mountains. Very big mountains.

Chamonix is a French alpine town nestled in a valley below the mighty Mont Blanc, the highest mountain in Western Europe. The mountains surrounding Mont Blanc are extremely impressive, and indeed imposing, with many peaks over 4000 m, and huge glaciers flowing down almost to the valley floor.

Chamonix was one of the first mountain tourist destinations in the world, and as a result of this tourism, the world famous “Compagnie des Guides de Chamonix” was formed in 1821.
