Chamonix
The first thing that hits you about Chamonix is the scenery; you cant possibly drive into the town without being impressed. Being at the foot of Mont Blanc, Chamonix was destined to be a popular resort from the start, nearly a century ago. Amazingly, Chamonix seems to have developed and matured into the perfect town, rather than being destroyed by ugly buildings and tourists like so many resorts. It has plenty of olde worlde charm, streets that you could wander round for days, a diversity of nationalities and more facilities than anyone could need. On top of this, the mountains are the best without a shadow of a doubt and the nightlife is incredible. The commute between the town and the mountains isnt ideal but its this fact that lets Chamonix maintain the feel of a real town, as opposed to a purpose-built resort, so well forgive this slight inconvenience.
