Chamonix has a huge reputation as a destination. I can't speak for it in winter but in early summer it is not a great place. We visited in early June and were very disappointed. The weather was awful. The people were generally surly and unhelpful. The prices were ridiculous. The only saving grace was the view from the Aiguille du... More

Amazing place. We came here as part of our travels to find work. To visit. This place is rather expensive. To go up aiguille du midi it costs around €50. However on a clear blue sky day the views through the valley and over the mountains is incredible. Take a trip to Mer de Glacé to see the ice river.... More

Visited Chamonix for New Years Eve and had a wicked time. Great snow, Amazing weather (bluesky everyday), picturesque town and great vibes all around. Cant recommend it enough, its got everything you need and more for a decent week in the mountains. Oh and visit the Monkey Bar for good burgers and fun times.
