Host in the past to a major part of Olympic history and only becoming better since, Chamonix is a beautiful locale promising both relaxing sightseeing and swift, all accessible easily from the comfort of the chalets around the resort.

But let’s cover the geography first. The commune of sixteen small settlements that is “Chamonix” rests on the northwest side of the Alps. Being located close to the massive peaks that are the Aiguilles Rouges and Mont Blanc, it offers the total ski weekend for hobbyists and sportsmen alike. The resort itself is well known and much visited with mountaineers and skiers. One of these, Mont Blanc, has the honor of being among the top three natural sites visited by tourists worldwide and tourists are in attendance throughout the year.

Useful locations for all forms of winter sports are simple to visit from Chamonix, providing the eager extreme sports aficionado with their free choice — wider than many resorts can offer — and all Olympic quality. There are also ski and hiking trails offered for skiers and hikers, making the most of striking views and access is readily obtained by cable car. All experience levels are welcome, as we can offer slopes and trails designed to be used by novices and casual skiers as well as the expert runs. The ski chalets to book around the resort are great for a family vacation in the Alps. A chalet will help you feel comfortable among the peaks with no call to give up luxury while indulging in winter sports. This is without doubt one of the decisions a family can make for their vacation.

Your entire family will have room to stay in Chamonix luxury in one of the larger chalets or you can choose a homier place for just the two of you in what is a true romantic locale. For romance or wholesome family fun Chamonix is the perfect location and a perfect place to base yourself. The entertainment changes in the time between summer and winter, but it never vanishes, with hiking, paragliding and mountaineering all popular hobbies during the summertime. Should you be not a skier but a tourist, you’ll find there’s still a great deal to keep you occupied in the alps with the panoramas, historical artefacts and places to visit, and the quest for bargains, all of it happening among the friendly population. Just a little research will provide all the information you need to find the right airfare and living quarters package and investigate the sports you want to try to make this the best holiday yet!
