Chamonix, Morzine, Val d'Isère
Chamonix: cultural and gastronomic stopover
Nestled at the foot of Mont Blanc, Chamonix is the highest town in France. You ski there, of course, but you also marvel at the richness of the local heritage: the Baroque-style churches and the shops in the pedestrian center are rustic and warm. Free transport in the valley allows you to visit the charming surrounding hamlets. The Savoyard resort is also renowned for the quality of its cuisine: authentic fondues and raclettes can be tasted at the Calèche restaurant. For a gourmet break, the starred Hameau Albert 1er restaurant is a must.
