Chamonix, France


France - Avignon - Paris

On a visit to France, tourists will do well to consult the France travel guide for France tourist attractions. Mount Blanc is the highest mountain in Western Europe. Chamonix in France is a town at the foot of Mont Blanc. The population of Chamonix in France in 1999 was 9830. Chamonix is a perfect placefor all types of adventurous outdoor activities such as canyoning, ice climbing, para gliding, rafting, rock climbing, and extreme skiing. Chamonix has a fantastic cable car up to Aiguille du Midi which is 3842 meters high. In the summer months, Chamonix is ideal for Alpine mountaineers, who feel fascinated by the northern parts of the Dru as well as the Frendo Spur on the Aiguille du Midi. They also opt for traversing the Alps by the GR 5 route or choose the less adventurous job of summiting Mont Blanc.

Chamonix is a good place for mountain bikers. Chamonix in France is also good for snowboarding and advanced skiing. The Vallée Blanche glacier runs down from below Mont Blanc du Tacul and the Aiguille du Midi to the valley. While care should be taken to spot crevasses, this spectacular route can be skied or snowboarded. The valley also has about six separate ski areas. These include Le Brévent (a short walk from the town center), La Flégère (at Les Praz), Les Planards (ski area for beginners and early intermediates), Les Grands Montets (at Argentière) and Domaine de Balme (at Le Tours). At Les Houches, there is also a ski resort.
