Address: La Ginabelle 2, 37 Place du Poilu, Rue Whymper, Chamonix Mt Blanc, 74400

Chamonix is situated on the northwest side of the French Alps just a little over one hour from Geneva Airport and is accessed quickly and easily by road.

Chamonix is one the most popular Winter and Summer sports resort towns in France. As the highest European mountain, Mont Blanc holds a special allure for mountain climbers and Chamonix serves as an ideal playground for almost all types of outdoor activity, such as skiing, snowboarding, walking, mountain biking, ice climbing, rock climbing, paragliding, rafting, and canyoning.

Chamonix developed in the valley of the same name, near the point where the French, Swiss, and Italian borders all come together. The valley, about 17.5 km in length, has about 10,000 permanent residents and was originally created by glaciers.

To the northwest rises the rugged Le Brévent (2400 m) and Aiguilles Rouges (3000 m), while the snowclad summit of Mont Blanc towers above the valley from the southeast. At 4810 m, Mont Blanc is the highest mountain in the European Alps.

Chamonix is famous for its spectacular cable car up to the Aiguille du Midi (3842 m). Constructed in 1955 it was then the highest cable car in the world. Together with a cable car system going up to the Point Helbronner (3462 m) from Entréves in the Aosta Valley (Italy) it is possible to cross the entire Mont Blanc Massif by cable car.
