Tour description
Join a guided tour of one of the most representative villages of the Alps, where mountain culture, legendary ascents, and the most notable local stories reveal the true essence of Chamonix. We will walk through must-see corners and spaces filled with mountaineering anecdotes, while you discover the most photogenic places and the best spots for your photos with Mont Blanc.
We start at Mont Blanc Square, where we will provide a 360° panoramic explanation to contemplate the unique beauty surrounding this iconic place. Then, we will stroll along the Arve River to learn about the history of Rue de Moulin, followed by the pedestrian center and the shopping area with its curiosities.
We will explore ancient streets and iconic corners, main squares with their alpine anecdotes and traces of the past, and urban viewpoints towards Mont Blanc, where I will explain the spots that make Chamonix famous in the world of mountaineering.
Additionally, you will receive authentic recommendations for dining, visiting, and making the most of your stay. The tour ends at a secret location with a toast and a small surprise.
