Chamonix is the capital of mountaineering.

This quaint city is dominated by majestic Mont Blanc, which stands tall at 4810 metres. Ever since Jacques Balmat and Michel Gabriel Paccard first reached the summit in 1786, the heights of Mont Blanc are among the most coveted in the world. There’s no question about it: climbing Mont Blanc is true mountaineering adventure.
