We stayed in Chamonix at a wonderful B&B named La Vert en Blanc...an authentic renovated 4 half star traditional ski lodge..so welcoming and cosy, only 10 rooms, very friendly and reasonable with breakfast included...we awoke to a beautiful clear autumn day and decided to take the trip of a lifetime up the cable car l'aiguille du midi...it was totally worth...

I went to Chamonix in January 2009. The city is actually beautiful and walking in the middle of city is striking for people who live in big cities, but it's really expansive. I enjoyed it

Amazing place. We came here as part of our travels to find work. To visit. This place is rather expensive. To go up aiguille du midi it costs around €50. However on a clear blue sky day the views through the valley and over the mountains is incredible. Take a trip to Mer de Glacé to see the ice river.... More

Visited Chamonix for New Years Eve and had a wicked time. Great snow, Amazing weather (bluesky everyday), picturesque town and great vibes all around. Cant recommend it enough, its got everything you need and more for a decent week in the mountains. Oh and visit the Monkey Bar for good burgers and fun times.

Our friends were in Chamonix for the winter so we went to visit. For somewhere that calls itself world class it was very disappointing. The lift system is mostly out of date, especially compared to Austria. Lots of old slow lifts, no hoods on the few newer lifts for when the weather is bad. Don't expect to find a heated... More

We came across this Bar on our second night which was probably a good job as otherwise we wouldnt have tried any other bar in Chamonix. Dave the owner was very welcoming and the Barstaff were excellent even joining in with the shots ! The bands are great with a special mention to the Piste Boys who played a song... More

Chamonix is undisputable the world capital for alpine climbing and skiing. The rocky needles – les aiguilles – are provoking summit fever where you just have to reach the top. For many years this was my favorite playground as climber with so many good and strong memories from the world of snow and ice as well as warm granite. What... More
