The dazzling snow cap and glaciers of Mont Blanc, Europe's highest mountain, provide a magnificent backdrop to the colourful resort of Chamonix.

Summer or winter there are plenty of things to do. There are few places we have been to in both seasons...places have to be special for that..well Chamonix is that kind of place!

Pros and Cons
  • Pros:Great Summer of Winter

    Thanks Sandy, the Aiguille du Midi cablecar is getting very high on my must do list. I wonder if Palin covered the Mont Blanc railway in his great railways journeys of the world programme.

    Wonderful photography and tips. Puts me in the mood for skiing this Feb - although that ski du fond looks too much like hard work to me! I keep returning to your Christmas countdown - I feel as though I'm part of the party :-))

    Hi Sandy - would you believe the ice cave MELTED this summer??!! Yes, they had to blast it away with dynamite as it was collapsing...guess we'll have to wait and see if it reforms during this winter!
