Chamonix Walking Tour
Chamonix, France
Why Walk Chamonix
Chamonix-Mont-Blanc sits at 1,035 meters in a valley beneath Mont Blanc, the highest mountain in the Alps at 4,808 meters. The town hosted the first Winter Olympics in 1924 and remains one of the world's great mountaineering capitals. The Aiguille du Midi cable car ascends to 3,842 meters — one of the highest cable cars in the world — with views across the Alps into three countries.
