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.
