What is Chamonix-Mont-Blanc
The village close to Europes highest mountain, the Mont Blanc. The 1924 Winter Olympics were held here. Home of all connoisseur ski bums and mountain loving alpinists. Good in summer and in winter. Chamonix serves as an ideal playground for almost all types of outdoor activity, especially in their more extreme variants, such as ice climbing, rock climbing, extreme skiing, paragliding, rafting, canyoning.
Chamonix is famous for its spectacular cable car up to the Aiguille du Midi (3842m). Constructed in 1955 it was then the highest cable car in the world. Together with a cable car system going up to the Point Helbronner (3462m) from Entréves in the Aosta Valley (Italy) it is possible to cross the entire Mont Blanc Massif by cable car.

"In the summer months Chamonix is a mecca for alpine mountaineers, drawn to the area by challenges like the north face of the Dru, the Frendo Spur on the Aiguille du Midi, traversing the Alps on the legendary GR 5 footpath or more accessible challenges like summitting Mont Blanc (by a number of possible routes)."

"But the second stage, to the Aiguille du Midi station at 3,781m (12,405 ft.), may make your heart leap, especially when the car rises 600m (1,970 ft.) between towers."

Glaciers all around the world are growing smaller and smaller every year. You better hurry.

A lot of young people enjoying the slopes. The slopes were almost too crowded but there were no queues to the lifts. The resort was quite well organized: after one of the cabins going from a ski area to another was closed because of an avalanche, we were provided a quick bus ride from the nearest village back to our car.

There is many places in Chamonix were you can enjoy good after ski. Maybe the best place is the biggest nigth-club. There is every nigth a Dj playing different kind of music. So if you like to dance and listen good party music, I can recommend this place to you:)

The hiking trail of dents du midi is very demanding but also very rewarding.
The trail goes around the mountain chain of dents du midi and is about 45 km long with 3.5km of ascend. Trail is full of huts that one can use to stay over. The hut of Susanfe was especially well equipped with solar panels and real beds.

The hotel is located some 3 kilometers from Courmayeur centre and the cabin lift. They have a free minibus from the hotel to downtown. Otherwise just another accommodation, but they have a small gym and sauna, which is definitely a big plus! :-)

When the weather is bad in France side of Mont Blanc it just might be perfect day to go trough tunnel to Italy and Courtmayer, and get cabin up to 3300m and Mer de Glace. Better hire a guide if you're not pro.

I was surprised to find out that there are also on piste avalanches! We were going from Flegere to Brevent when we found out that the connecting cabin was closed because of an avalanche...
