Chamonix
The holiday resort of Chamonix sits in the shadow of Mont Blanc
and offers some of the most challenging skiing in Europe. The town
is in the centre of a string of villages spread out along a valley
cutting deep through the Alps; the village of Argentiere is six
miles (10km) up the valley, beneath the renowned Grands-Montets
slopes, and Les Houches is a small holiday resort a few miles
below. The huge variety of on- and off-piste skiing in Chamonix
attracts ski bums and serious weekend skiers (the town is only 50
minutes drive from Geneva) and this is reflected in the sportive
atmosphere in the bars and restaurants.
