Panorama

A view from our panoramic camera, looking across the entire Mt Blanc massif from the Aiguille des Grands Montets on the left, the Drus, the mouth of the Mer de Glace, Les Jorasses, the Aiguille du Midi, the Mont Blanc and the Aiguille du Gouter on the right.

This is the view from the centre of Chamonix overlooking the main church, the Maison de la Montagne (guide office, ski-school, + High-mountain office) with the green copper roof, the start of many of Chamonix’s main events such as the Marathon du Mont Blanc and The North Face Ultra-Trail, and in the background the peaks of the Aiguille Rouge (‘Brevent/Planpraz/Flegere’ ski area).

A view of Chamonix town centre, overlooking the Place Balmat. This is one of the most popular areas of town and plays host to numerous events, starts of races, and don’t forget to turn up here for the New Year’s Eve celebrations!

The Aiguille du Midi (3845m) is the highest point accessible by cable-car in the Chamonix valley. The Aiguille du Midi is well known as the start of the famous Vallee Blanche off-piste ski run over the glaciers; and is also one of the access routes to climbing the Mont Blanc (4811m).

This is a view from the summit of the Aiguille du Midi looking at the condition of the arete which leads into the Vallée Blanche – off-piste glacial skiing and access to the high mountains.

One of our personal favourtite views, that of a close up of the summit of the Mont Blanc and its glaciers at a massive 4811m. The Mont Blanc is one of only a handful peaks in the world which is actually easier to conquer than its neighbouring summits – still, its no walk in the park either…
