Description of Chamonix

The original wintersports Mecca, and home of the inaugural 1924 Winter Olympics, Chamonix is arguably the world's most famous ski resort. Situated at the base of Mt Blanc, self-contained bustling Chamonix and its satellite town Argentiere further up the valley actually defy the typical notion of a 'resort'. Add in the hugely impressive variety of terrain on the mountain, and some of the best skiing and snowboarding in the world, and you'll begin to see why Chamonix has remained so popular through the years. Ski Rental in Chamonix couldn't be easier. Intersport has the following ski hire shops in and around the resort:
