Monument to Jacques Balmat and Saussure

Highlight • Monument

This statue in the center of Chamonix is not always well understood. It would be easy to think that the two men were the first to climb Mont Blanc (4810m) on August 8, 1786. However, one of the two is in fact the Swiss financier who supported the expedition, but who did not. has not climbed. The second mountaineer who managed to reach the top with Jacques Balmat was actually Doctor Paccard, but he is not on the podium with them ...

Chamonix

Highlight • Other

Chamonix-Mont-Blanc, Chamonix for short, is a charming town at the foot of Mont Blanc and has many surprises in store for mountain lovers. Because of its favorable location in a valley between the mountain ridges, Chamonix is a very popular tourist destination. It calls itself the "Mountaineering Capital of the World". The climb to the top of Mont Blanc, a trip to the Aiguille du Midi, to the Mer de Glace, the North and South Routes and much more are clearly worthwhile.

Chamonix

Highlight • Settlement

A look at the Mont Blanc of Chamonix is already worth a few drops of sweat, which you probably can not help shedding with the racing bike, if you want to get there - whether from the east over the Col Forclaz and Montets or from the west from Marlioz. Even though the summit should be in clouds, the Mer de Glace, which ends just above the town, is already very impressive. On a longer tour you can of course in Chamonix provide plenty of provisions or drinks, the place is quite tourist :-).
