About Chamonix
Chamonix is a mountaineering town in the French Alps at the foot of Mont Blanc, with glaciers, high cable cars and a long history of winter sport.
Chamonix sits in a narrow valley directly beneath Mont Blanc, at about 4,800 metres the highest summit in the Alps. Its first ascent in 1786 by Jacques Balmat and Michel-Gabriel Paccard made the town the birthplace of mountaineering, and the first Winter Olympics followed in 1924. A statue in the square shows Balmat pointing towards the summit beside the scientist de Saussure.
Top-ranked sights in Chamonix: Aiguille du Midi, Mont Blanc, Chamonix Amusement Park (Parc de Loisirs de Chamonix).
