Vacations In Chamonix

There are plenty of reasons why so many people take vacations in Chamonix, which is just one of the reasons why millions flock to this resort every year. The location played host to the first-ever Winter Olympics, way back in 1924 but this is just one of the many achievements that Chamonix has to offer.

Vacations In Chamonix

It is fair to say that the biggest attraction in Chamonix, quite literally, is Mont Blanc, which is the tallest mountain in the West of Europe. The skiing opportunities that exist in Chamonix are extensive and no matter what sort of skier you are, there will be plenty for you to enjoy. The fact that there is something for everyone is great news but it is very important that all of your party can tell the difference between a green circle run and a black diamond run! If you are looking for another reason to head to the reason and have some skiing fun, you will be following in the footsteps of James Bond, with scenes from the movie ‘The World Is Not Enough’ being filmed in Chamonix.

When it comes to having variety in the accommodation on offer in Chamonix, you will not be short of options. If you are on a budget you will be glad to know that there are campsites, chalets, and bed and breakfasts available for a very affordable. However, if you are coming to Chamonix to enjoy the very best that life has to offer, you will have plenty of choices too. There are a number of five-star hotels, private apartments, and residencies to book from. No matter how you want to stay in Chamonix, you will find something that is of benefit.

Take the stress out of your vacation

One great way to ensure that your holiday gets off to the best possible start is to arrange your transfers between Geneva Airport and Chamonix before you fly out (if you need them of course). This can take a lot of the stress and hassle out of your arrival and the same journey can be arranged for your return to the airport. Having these transfers lined up and booked before you head off to Chamonix means that all of your energy and focus can be placed on enjoying your Chamonix vacation.

Although skiing will always remain the number one reason for heading to Chamonix on vacation, there are plenty of other activities that will provide you with plenty of fun and entertainment during your stay. It should be noted that the shopping experience in Chamonix is a glorious treat for many people and if you are looking for high-end shopping, this is definitely the place for you.

Plenty of retail therapy on offer

There are a large number of pedestrian streets in Chamonix which means that you can shop in comfort and style. Whether you are window shopping or are planning on splashing the cash, you will find some of the biggest and most luxurious brands on earth to choose from. You will find many stores offering great sporting equipment but there are also top fashion brands, jewelry stores, bags, antiques, and book stores that will provide you with plenty of enticement to go shopping. 

You should also find that there are many stores selling the finest food if you wish to make your own dinner. Of course, with a wide range of restaurants in the Chamonix area, many people will opt to eat out when vacationing in the area.

There is no getting away from the fact that while many people find the skiing element of their stay in Chamonix to be fun, it is the après-ski element that they most look forward to. Whether you have had a hard day out on the slope or not, being able to let your hair down and relax at night is something that can be a highlight of the trip and there are many great things to do in Chamonix at night.

If you feel like seeing a film you will be delighted to know that there is a cinema and if you feel like putting your luck and skill to the test, you will be happy to know that there is a casino in Chamonix too. It may be that you are more interested in the number of bars that are in the area and again, you are spoiled for choice in Chamonix. Great bars like The Mix Bar, the Bar du Moulin or The Office will provide you with the perfect setting to party into the small hours during your vacation in Chamonix.

Hidden Gem Japan: The Fascinating 1200 Faces of the Otagi Nenbutsu-ji Temple

Nestled on the outskirts of Aarashiyama, Kyoto, the Otagi Nenbutsu-ji Temple is a concealed gem that has certainly had its fair share of hardships in the past. This buddhist temple features a collection of 1200 whimsical statues, all with a different facial expression, which make for one truly captivating sight.  The Rakan statues, which represent the disciples of the historical Buddha, are a fairly recent addition to the temple, whose story dates all the way back to the 8th century. But the unusual statues are not the only amazing thing about the temple. Its somewhat tragic history stands to witness how ruthless nature can be and how certain things are meant to stand the test of time (with a bit of human help). Originally, the temple was not built in the far western hills of Aarashiyama, where it stands today. It was actually built in the Higashiyama area in the year 770. The temple was completely washed away when the nearby Kamo-gawa river flooded the banks. It was then reestabli...
