Chamonix town is found at the base of the magnificent Mount Blanc in the European Alps and is regarded as the mountaineering and extreme ski holiday centre of the European Alps. The resort has long been known as a veritable area for sports during both winter and summer. It was host to the 1st Winter Olympics in the early 1920s – furthermore it’s also a region of outstanding views providing a lot of different things to the snowboarder and holiday maker.

But unlike most purpose built snowboarding fields Chamonix is not a purpose built snowboarding resort and has been preserved from the brutalist architecture which blights much of the French Alps. It is lucky to have not only and infamous snowboarding mountain moreover an elegant and lively resort centre.

The town is big enough to guarantee that there’s plenty enough for the non-skier to do and see. However you choose to enjoy your trip theres something to please anyone. There’s an impressive swimming area, cross country skiing, husky sledding and weekly market with fresh local produce; and loads of shops, bars and night-clubs, it offers a choice of climbing, atmosphere and going out, which only a few skiing domains can match. Therefore reserve your summer break now.
