Location details for the resort and town of Chamonix

Chamonix-Mont-Blanc is a world-renowned alpine town nestled at the foot of the majestic Mont Blanc, the highest peak in western Europe. Known as a hub for mountaineering, skiing, and extreme sports, Chamonix retains a charming alpine village atmosphere with its bustling streets, traditional architecture, and stunning panoramic views. The town center sits at an altitude of around 1,035 meters (3,396 feet), offering a lively environment with shops, restaurants, bars, and historical landmarks. Its rich history is deeply intertwined with the conquest of Mont Blanc and the development of alpine tourism. The Chamonix valley extends to include smaller villages like Les Houches, Servoz, Argentière, and Vallorcine, all accessible from the main town center.

Located in the Haute-Savoie region of France, in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, Chamonix is situated in a narrow valley bordered by mountains. It is close to the borders with Switzerland and Italy, accessed via the Mont Blanc tunnel.

Chamonix is primarily accessed by road via the A40 motorway. The nearest significant train station is in Saint-Gervais-les-Bains-Le Fayet, connected to Chamonix by a local train line. However, the train journey from Geneva involves multiple changes and takes several hours.
