Chamonix is a mythical site in the Alps. This very diverse pedestrian city has a definite steep mountain atmosphere. The panoramic view of the highest mountaintops in Europe and several famous glaciers is unique. The quality and diversity of the services are as good as any offered by the accompanying mountains proudly epitomized by Mont Blanc. Argentière and the different skiable areas can be reached by bus or car. The skiable area of Le Tour is an alternative to the sports skiing usually offered in the valley. The runs are suited to medium-level skiers and receive record snow levels.
