FRANCE - Alps - Chamonix

Mont-Blanc

Chamonix-Mont-Blanc, more commonly known as Chamonix, is a commune in the Haute-Savoie department and was the site of the first Winter Olympics in 1924. Situated to the north of Mont Blanc, between the peaks of the Aiguilles Rouges and the notable Aiguille du Midi, Chamonix is one of the oldest ski resorts in France. The Chamonix commune is popular with skiers and mountain enthusiasts, and via the cable car lift to the Aiguille du Midi it is possible to access the off-piste (backcountry) ski run of the Vallée Blanche.
Mont Blanc (meaning "White Mountain") is the second-highest mountain in Europe. It is the highest mountain in the Alps, and rises 4,808 m (15,774 ft) above sea level and is the eleventh-most prominent peak in the world.
