Places to see in ( Chamonix - France )
Chamonix-Mont-Blanc (usually shortened to Chamonix) is a resort area near the junction of France, Switzerland and Italy. At the base of Mont Blanc, the highest summit in the Alps, it's renowned for its skiing. Year-round, cable cars take visitors up to several nearby peaks with panoramic views, including Aiguille du Midi above town, and Pointe Helbronner, across vast glacier fields on the Italian border.
With the sheer white heights of the Mont Blanc massif as its sensational backdrop, the Chamonix Valley shows the Alps at their most dramatic. First ‘discovered’ as a tourist destination by Brits William Windham and Richard Pococke in 1741, it has become a wintertime playground of epic proportions, more than satisfying the most demanding skiers as well as the après-ski revellers who pack themselves into its boot-stompin’ bars. In summer, lift-accessible highland trails offer thrilling panoramas to hikers, mountain bikers and other high-altitude thrill seekers.
Chamonix is connected to the valley by a highway and a small railway line. It is also connected to Courmayeur in Italy by road via the tunnel under the Mont-Blanc [18], and Martigny in Switzerland by road and rail. In the winter there are TGV lines that go directly to St. Gervais-les-Bains (Le Fayet), where you can switch to a small local train to ride up into Chamonix. There is also a TGV that leaves directly from Charles-de-Gaulle airport to Lyon, and you can transfer to St. Gervais-les-Bains (Le Fayet) from there. Via St. Gervais, sleeper trains to Paris are also easily accessible. Eurolines offers a connection to Chamonix from Italy, Amsterdam, Antwerp, Brussels, Lille, Paris and Geneva. The Chamonix valley can be considered everything between Servoz and the Swiss border, or the towns of: Servoz, Les Houches, Chamonix, Les Praz, Argentiere, and Vallorcine.
Mer de Glace (Sea of Ice), one of the biggest glaciers in continental Europe, accessible by the Montenvers rack railway. Aiguille du Midi cable car, one of the highest cable cars in the world, apart from a few in South America. In fact the Aiguille Du Midi starts at 1035 m and finishes at a staggering 3810 m! From the bottom to the top, it has the greatest vertical range in the world. Brevent cable car, on the other side of the valley, provides the best views of the Mont-Blanc massif.
In Les Houches you can take the Bellevue cable car (Telepherique de Bellevue) for another view of the Chamonix valley, with Mont Blanc to one side and the Brevent to the other. Another option is to take the Montblanc Tramway from St.Gervais Le Fayet that goes upto Nid d'aigle. Musée des cristaux, (crystals museum), a very nice museum, exhibiting an impressive collection of crystals, mostly from Chamonix.
Vallée blanche (White Valley), glacier skiing. Needs a full day from the Aiguille du Midi cable car. The easiest route can be skiied by someone who is confident on red runs, although a guide is highly recommended due to the Glacier on which you would be skiing. Your guide will have ropes, shackles and locator beacons.
The Brevent and la Flegere are the easiest ski areas to get to from the center of town. You can walk to the ski lift at le Brevent, or take a shuttle from a number of different drop of points. Skiing for all levels, but mostly mid- to extreme ski. Les Houches is the best family resort, and often has the best low-altitude conditions. It is the only ski area with slopes below the treeline, so it is a good place to go when there is a lot of fog. Le Tour is at the far end of the valley, towards Martigny. It has many easier slopes for beginners, but also some out-of-bounds skiing if you are willing to hike up with your skis. The front side of Le Tour is also a good place to go if you don't like being cold, because most slopes are in the sun (although it can still be very windy, especially on the back side down towards Vallorcine). The Grand Montets has the most extreme and highest altitude slopes, and can be accessed from the town of Argentiere.

Saint-Gervais is the gateway to the Domaine Evasion Mont Blanc and its 445 km of slopes.

Villages huddled shivering, undeveloped tracts, needles of rock and ice falls form a green choice for one of the finest ski areas in France. The mountain in Saint-Gervais, captivates you, of course. We admire, we imagine, it protects, it respects ... The passionate feelings it inspires are transmitted from generation to generation as the most precious inheritance.

Saint-Gervais-les-Bains is a commune in the Haute-Savoie department in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region in south-eastern France. The village is best known for tourism, and has been a popular holiday destination because of its beauty and location since the early 1900s. It has 450 km of ski pistes, reputed to be the third largest domain exclusively in France. The wider administrative area of the commune of St Gervais encompasses several separate villages, as well as the summit of Mont Blanc. Consequently, the commune has a very large variation in altitudes, ranging from the village of Le Fayet at 570m up to the summit of Mont Blanc at 4810m, with the main town of St Gervais at just under 900m in altitude.
St Gervais les Bains (also referred to as St Gervais or St Gervais Mont Blanc) is not a recently purpose built resort, and so has a significant year round population, rather than just seasonal and is full of historical buildings giving it the traditional charm much sought after in the Alps. The main railway station for Saint-Gervais is the Gare de Saint-Gervais-les-Bains-Le Fayet. The fabulous and historic Mont Blanc Tramway departs from Le Fayet station and reaches the Nid d'Aigle station at the Bionnassay glacier at an altitude of 2372 m (7800 ft). The Saint-Gervais–Vallorcine railway departs from Le Fayet station and takes you to Chamonix and across the Swiss border to Martigny.

샤모니 가장 높은 골짜기에 있는 발로르신 마을로 향한다. 이곳 분들의 도움을 받아 핸드메이드 작품들을 만드는 할머니를 찾아가 보기로 했다. 자연에서 나는 재료로 탄생된 멋진 창작물들이다. 대형 버섯을 오래 말린 작품도 신기하기만 하다. “태양도 안 되고 오븐도 쓰지 않고 그냥 자연스럽게 말려야 돼요.” 이곳 발로르신의 자연 재료들을 고이 말려 재료로 이용하는데, 어떤 작품이 탄생할지는 오직 할머니 마음에 달렸다. 솔방울로 만들어 붙일 수 있는 나비가 신기하다. 행운의 나비를 선물로 주신다. 할머니와 얼마 떨어지지 않은 곳에 남편인 할아버지의 작업실도 있어 들러보기로 했다. 이 마을에서 태어나 어려서부터 목수 일을 했던 할아버지는 나무 작업을 사랑한다고 한다. 할아버지의 특기는 바로 버터를 담는 틀이다. 이 틀에 버터를 담을 때 특히 버터가 맛있어진다고 한다. “이곳의 작업은 다른 사람들이 안하는 거잖아요. 그런 게 좋아요. 나만의 작업 방식을 갖는 걸 좋아합니다.” 프랑스의 알프스처럼 특별한 두 분이 오래도록 건강하시길 바란다.

This very sunny Franco-Swiss ski area reaches a height of 2,186m at Col de Balme pass.
It is reached via Le Tour village or by gondola lift from Vallorcine.
The Balme ski area has hill-walking paths of all levels of difficulty, such as the path up to the Albert I mountain hut, a very pleasant walk in a giant-scale glacier setting, but also routes in the wild through pastures and forests.
From Charmillon to Col des Posettes pass, numerous mountain-biking trails for all levels take you down to the villages of Le Tour and Vallorcine.
