Chamonix’s high mountain scenery and majestic icefalls lay a mystical backdrop to the lovely hamlets below. The 20km long valley is home to one of Europe’s highest cable cars and cog railways, which take you to amazing viewpoints, mountain restaurants, hiking and snowshoe trails, a sports complex, indoor heated pools, an ice rink, tennis courts, and of course ski runs.
