 Surrounded by the jagged and serrated peaks of the Massif de Mont Blanc, Chamonix-Mont-Blanc has one of the most dramatic settings of any ski resort in the world. A magnet for climbers, mountaineers, skiers and outdoor enthusiasts of all kinds, Chamonix remains the undisputed capital of Alpinism and the most visited destination in the French Alps. Chamonix's history as an Alpine resort dates back to the mid 1700s, when British explorers William Windham and Richard Pocock publicized their remarkable journey to the valley's remote glaciers (Voyages aux Glaciers de Savoie). The resulting influx of tourists ultimately shaped the valley into what we see now - a development far removed from its early days as an isolated and weatherbeaten community of shepherds. Today, lively and cosmopolitan Chamonix welcomes some 160 000 thrill-seeking visitors annually, the majority of whom come to take advantage of the resort's extreme skiing, hair raising cable car rides and awe-inspiring scenery. The Chamonix ski area is divided up into a number of separate areas located both near Chamonix itself and its other nearby villages. Brevent and Flegere, the closest area to Chamonix centre, offers a mixture of intermediate and advanced terrain, with skiing up to 2525 metres. Les Grands Montets is accessible via the village of Argentiere - located at the end of the valley, Argentiere can be reached by bus from Chamonix. The Domaine de Balme, accessible from the villages of Le Tour and Vallorcine, offers the gentlest terrain of all the ski areas, with 22 easy and intermediate runs. Covered by a seperate ski pass, Les Houches, the lowest of the Chamonix Valley's areas is characterised by its wooded slopes and intermediate tree runs.
