The Town

Chamonix Mont-Blanc is a charming lively town at the heart of breathtaking Alps, about 1 hour drive from Geneva Airport and about 2 hours drive from Lyon.

Chamonix caters both to mountain enthusiasts who are into pushing their physical limits and being one with nature, and city dwellers whose idea of fun is more about enjoying a glass of wine and a spectacular view without breaking a sweat.

The program includes a free afternoon, and hosts from the tourist office will be available to provide information on the city and its surrounding.
