The city center

In the heart of a legendary alpine resort

Welcoming skiers since 1906 and host of the first Winter Olympic Games, Chamonix is one of the oldest ski resorts in the French Alps. Often the preferred destination for experienced skiers, the resort offers 119 diverse slopes. Beyond skiing, Chamonix boasts a wide range of activities including ice skating, golf, and hiking, with 350 km of trails to explore. The town is also home to numerous bars and restaurants, including the two-Michelin-starred Albert 1er and L’Auberge Bois Prin, which was taken over in 2020 by Emmanuel and Kristine Renaut, owners of Flocons de Sel in Megève.

Living in the town center of Chamonix

The town center is one of the most sought-after neighborhoods in Chamonix and the entire valley. Its main advantages include proximity to shops and public transport. Chamonix is a true mountain town that lives year-round, offering strong rental yields not only in winter but also in summer, thanks to its famous hiking trails. According to the Tourist Office, overnight stays increased by 100,000 between 2018 and 2019, and the town center remains the most profitable and in-demand area for rentals in Chamonix. Demand here is especially high for beautiful apartments with views of Mont Blanc.

Appreciated for its authentic charm and commitment to sustainability—earning it the Flocon Vert label—Chamonix has gradually expanded to become a vibrant and renowned alpine town.
