The Mont Blanc Ultra Trail, or UTMB® Chamonix, is a long-distance race that takes place all around Mont-Blanc, both in France, Switzerland and Italy.
Chamonix, the world's mountaineering capital, continues to attract mountain enthusiasts with its emblematic events such as the Mont-Blanc Marathon, and varied activities such as paragliding, climbing and skiing. The resort continues to evolve, combining nature, sport and culture to the delight of visitors.
Crossing the Alps to connect France to Italy, the Mont-Blanc Tunnel is one of the most famous road tunnels in the world. When it was inaugurated in 1965, its proportions made it the longest tunnel ever built. An engineering marvel, this impressive structure made it possible to shorten the journey between Chamonix and Courmayeur by 60 km. However, it was mainly to facilitate border crossing, which had hitherto been complicated by the winter closure of the Alpine passes, that it was built. The tunnel is also a solution of choice for heavy goods vehicles who want to go to the other side of the massif.
Summer and winter, Chamonix-Mont-Blanc is full of activities of all kinds. It is a mythical ski resort, but also an essential destination for paragliding in Europe.
