Chamonix Resort, Mont Blanc

Since the valley was first discovered in 1741 by two British explorers William Windham and Richard Pocock, the valley has become legendary for alpine adventure and enjoyment. Chamonix hosted the world’s first ever Winter Olympic Games in 1924 and has remained famous for exceptional skiing, and facilities to suit all types of visitors.
