Things to do in Chamonix, Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes: The Best Tramways
As host of the first Winter Olympics in 1924, Chamonix will always have a place in the history books. Its main attractions are Mont-Blanc (Western Europe's tallest mountain) and the many ski areas that face the Chamonix Valley. Steep slopes and extreme weather conditions suit advanced skiers best, but there are also runs for beginners. Just make sure everyone in your party knows a green circle from a black diamond. Oh, and another note for the history books—Pierce Brosnan was here (filming a James Bond movie, The World Is Not Enough).

ENJOY THE MOUNTAINS! From the Index, admire the view of the Mer de Glace, the Argentiere and le Tour glaciers. Also discover superb lakes (Lac Blanc, Lac des Cheserys...) and beautiful hikes in the Aiguilles Rouges Nature Reserve!

We took the cable car to Flegere and onward chair lift to l'Index before walking back to Chamonix. The Mont Blanc pass is useful giving access over a number of days although for us personally it may have been better just to have the option of a combination of lift trips to accommodate the hiking in between.The views from whichever side of the valley are simply stunning
