Chamonix and its valley

Chamonix, Chamonix .... Who does not know this name? Chamonix is ​​a stirring little town in the center of the Alps, known internationally as a mountaineering destination and a resort for winter sports. Located at the Swiss and Italian border, the Chamonix Valley is punctuated by the impressive Aiguilles de Chamonix, among which culminates the imposing Mont Blanc at 4,810 meters above sea level.Nestled in the center of this panorama, Chamonix is ​​certainly one of the most beautiful resorts in the Hautes-Alpes, offering views of snow - covered peaks standing out against the bright blue sky, and hikes alternating waterfalls, glaciers, and fir forests.You will probably choose your area of ​​residence depending on its proximity to the sites that interest you, but you should  know that in Chamonix, everything is beautiful to see!To reside in Chamonix itself, as close as possible to the downtown activities, you can opt for a rental in the neighborhoods of the Frasse and Plans, or that of the Pilgrims to the south, at the exit of the Mont Blanc tunnel. Among the surrounding hamlets, skiers might want to reside at Argentière or La Rosière to be closer to the Domaine des Grands Montets and its demanding slopes. The village of Lavancher will place you at equal distance lifts bringing you to the Grands Montets and the Brévent-Flégère area, but you would choose Les Bois to be at the bottom of the cable car Flégère. In Vallorcine, further north of Chamonix, you will go skiing on the Balme-Vallorcine ski area, while in the south, in the Les Houches ski resort, you will cross the slopes of the Les Houches ski area.As you can see, the possibilities are numerous in Chamonix, and the real difficulty will be to make your choice!
