Chamonix isn't a ski resort or an outdoor activity centre,
it is a thriving town in its own right; with 12,000 permanent residents.
Chamonix is in the perfect location. You are in France but, within half an hour, can be in Switzerland or Italy. It is one hour from Geneva airport and about the same distance from the beautiful town of Annecy. The Mont Blanc massif dominates the town and, winter or summer, you have the privilege of enjoying the most beautiful scenery in Europe. Many people think that Chamonix has the most spectacular scenery that skiers will see anywhere in the world.
Chamonix is one of the liveliest après-ski resorts in the Alps. It is packed with bars and restaurants of every sort and even has its own micro-brewery. From a quick pizza to a gourmet meal at Michelin starred restaurants, there is something for every taste. Live music starts around 4pm in several venues most days in the winter, and only a little less frequently in the summer. Even the most dedicated partier will struggle to get round the 14 bars, 80 restaurants, 100 shops and 7 discotheques in the average stay of a week.
There is a museum and art gallery, a cinema and a casino. In addition there is a large sports complex with a sports hall, indoor and outdoor ice rink, speed skating rink, 19 tennis courts (quick and clay) including 4 indoor courts, squash courts, swimming-pool complex with water-slide & fitness centre (saunas, Turkish baths, solarium). Chamonix is the only alpine town able to offer such a wide selection of entertainment.
