Chamonix is a beautiful setting. Giant jagged peaks…and big tumbling glaciers so close to town. Chamonix town is quaint, just like an alpine village should be. It is just beautiful. The snowboarding is pretty neat too! My favorite resort area was Les Grand Montets….even though when we were there it was so cold that morning that I thought my toes were going to freeze off! Next time I want to go later in the season so that we can do the Vallee Blanche tour. Oh, and make sure and have a rental car…the resorts are spread out and standing outside waiting for the bus seems to be a drag!
