Downtown Chamonix and the Sculpture of De Saussure and Balmat, the First Men to Climb the Mont Blanc
Before and after treks or climbs in the French and Swiss Alps, we place most of our travelers in the comfortable 2-star Hôtel de l’Arve located in the center of Chamonix, only a few blocks from the main square and the guide’s office. For clients looking for a more upscale experience, Chamonix also offers several luxury options.
After a challenging trek in the Alps or a climb to the summit of the Mont Blanc, consider spending a few nights in a great luxury hotel! We are pleased to be able to book almost any hotel in the Chamonix valley. Here are our top two picks.
Le Morgane
