Chamonix-Mont-Blanc is a major skiing destination in the French Alps. Mont Blanc, the tallest peak in the Alps, is a mecca for winter sports enthusiasts, and there are cable cars that take guests up the side of the mountain both for skiing and for sightseeing, because the views from up there are simply stunning. Visitors to Chamonix can practice their skiing or snowboarding, but there are a number of other fun activities to do on the slopes as well, such as handi-skiing/sit-skiing, ice climbing, heli-skiing, or dog sledding. And of course, at the end of a long day out in the snow, visitors can enjoy a hot cup of chocolat chaud.
