Chamonix

Jon Krakauer, author of Into Thin Air, and no stranger to dangerous mountains, described Chamonix as the “death-sport capital of the world.” The French village is Europe’s (if not the world’s) extreme sports mecca but there is also much for non-daredevils to do, including some beginner and intermediate skiing, hiking and in-town diversions such as the annual Cosmo Jazz Festival each August.
