We spent a few days in Chamonix and tried to capture as much of the resort as possible on camera during our stay. Chamonix is a stunning and vibrant mountain town with centuries of mountaineering history behind it. The town is bustling with excited skiers and climbers and it has a huge variety of fantastic restaurants and a lively nightlife with lots of great bars and nightclubs.
Chamonix boasts 4 fantastic ski areas, Brevent-Flégère being the largest. It's accessed right from the town and the ski area is great for intermediates with lots of blues and easy reds. The Balme ski area is located right at the northern end of the valley and is great for families with children learning to ski and less experienced skiers. Next you have the Grands Montets which is the highest and the most challenging ski area in Chamonix with lots of steeper reds, blacks and some blues and it's located on the Northern side of the valley and accessed from Argentiere. Finally you have Les Houches where, despite hosting the Kandahar FIS downhill skiing every year, you'll find great skiing for families with lots of picturesque tree runs and fantastic views over to St Gervais and up the valley to Chamonix.
Anyone heading to Chamonix must never forget the Aiguille du Midi. It's the highest cable car in Europe and is accessed right from the town. It offers the most stunning views over to Mont Blanc and across the Alps to Geneva and in the other direction across the valley into Italy. It's not a ski area as such, but a 22km off-piste itinerary where intermediate skiers can, if accompanied by a guide, ski the Valley Blanche.
Brévent Chamonix 2016
Filmed on Wednesday 17th February 2016
Although the Brévent ski station is the closest to the centre of Chamonix. The hill from Chamonix centre to the bottom station is deceptively steep to walk up, especially in ski boots. The easiest way up is to catch the free bus.
The new Gondola make the journey quick and usually queue free and on the day I filmed took me above the couds that draped Chamonix at a lower altitude.
It is well worth taking the extra Gondola to Brévent itself. I had last been their on the final leg of the Tour du Mont Blanc in the previous Summer and it was amazing to see the barren rocky landscape transformed by metres of snow.
The view from the top is equally amazing Summer and Winter and food for the soul... well worth taking a few moments to appreciate life. While the run from Brévent to Plan Praz is marked as Black it is in reality a reasonable meandering track well within the capabilities of most skiers.
The remainder of the area consists of five or six blue and red runs, and one black run including some mogulled sections of varying slope... good for practice. The expanse means it seldom feels crowded and combined with the sunshine on its southern aspect makes it a good area for an enjoyable morning's skiing.
TheLiaison Gondola connecting Brévent and Flégère makes it possible to ski one area in the morning and the other in an afternoon, which I did.

????????【4K】Chamonix-Mont-Blanc • Walking France [Chamonix]
Chamonix-Mont-Blanc, more commonly known as Chamonix, is a commune in the Haute-Savoie department in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region in south-eastern France. It was the site of the first Winter Olympics in 1924.
Situated to the north of Mont Blanc, and near the massive peaks of the Aiguilles Rouges and most notably the Aiguille du Midi, Chamonix is one of the oldest ski resorts in France. The Chamonix commune is popular with skiers and mountain enthusiasts, and via the cable car lift to the Aiguille du Midi it is possible to access the off-piste (backcountry) ski run of the Vallée Blanche.
Chamonix is a destination popular the world over. In the streets of this high-mountain town you'll hear languages from every corner of the globe. But the people who come to this 'summit meeting' share the same way of thinking, the same love for mountaineering, its legends and its ethics.
When you're out shopping in the town centre, wherever you are look up and you'll see 'it' there… 4,810 metres (15,781 ft) of rock, snow, ice and dreams of things to come.

The Town of Chamonix Valley France
Random video footage of Chamonix Valley and the surrounding French Alps mountain range, and the highest mountain in the EU in Mont Blanc. I've dreamt of going to mainland Europe for the longest time, and Chamonix Valley was my first stop in my European travel adventure last year 2013. I spent over 5 days here with friends for some amazing hiking in the mountains.
