Why Chamonix matters
Chamonix sits under the highest mountain in the Alps, and everything in town points up. Cable cars lift you onto a needle of rock above the clouds, glaciers spill down the valley, and hiking trails start at the edge of town. It is as good in summer as in winter.
Talking points
- Mont Blanc is the highest peak in the Alps.
- Cable cars reach high-alpine viewpoints in minutes.
- Summer brings hiking; winter brings skiing.
