WHY GO

Chamonix is the mountaineering capital of Europe and it's not unusual to see lines of skiers or climbers roped together and led by a guide carrying an intimidating battery of climbing gear. Here, the après-ski chat is deadly serious: no idle banter about where to find the best vin chaud on the mountain, just talk of off-piste escapades. The terrain is exhilaratingly beautiful in both winter and summer.
