Ever dreamt of a
holiday that felt like you were living a legend? Or wanted an experience worthy
of the great mountain ventures enshrined in classic literature? First holidays
camps, first ascents. Chamonix is the place to go to tackle the highest peak in
Europe.
Surrounded by
Mont Blanc and its needles, domes and glaciers, this small cosmopolitan town
still bustles with talk of all the expeditions that have made its name so
evocative. Families with long and proud
connections to the mountains love to holiday in "Cham'". They can
often be seen hurrying quietly along the cobblestone streets, where chalets,
town houses and buildings dating back to the Belle Epoque stand as silent,
elegant witnesses to the visitors' joy and intrepidness.
This is a place
that fosters refinement, audacity and humility. The skiing here is challenging,
both on- and off-piste, but in summer the mountains also make for excellent
family excursions, with trails taking in spectacular highland lakes.
In Chamonix you
can get close to magnificent peaks while exploring the history of mountain
life. You can take the rack railway to the Mer de Glace glacier, travel on the
Mont Blanc tramway or the Aiguille du Midi cable car. However, you go, you will
be following in the footsteps of pioneers and can marvel at views unlike any
other in the world and visit museums perched at dizzying heights.
To make the most
of these majestic spots, use one of the exceptional properties in our
collection as your base. Our concierge service can arrange for you
to enjoy a stay tailored exactly to your wishes while ensuring you do not miss
out on any of the exploration opportunities offered by the resort.
