At the foot of Mont Blanc: glaciers, cable cars and alpine trails.

Chamonix is the birthplace of alpinism: the Aiguille du Midi cable car rises to 3,842 m facing Mont Blanc, the Mer de Glace glacier is reached by rack railway, and trails lead to lakes and balconies. Canal-lined Annecy on its turquoise lake is an hour away.
