It was back in the ‘Golden Age’ of mountaineering in the mid-nineteenth century that Britons first began to discover Chamonix.

As Mark Twain famously noted:

"Reports of my death are greatly exaggerated."

This has been a year unlike any other for travel and tourism. We saw the ski lifts in France finish early for the season, but the last few months have seen a recovery to the ‘new normal’.

Chamonix has been leading the way. It was the first resort in France to re-open its lifts and has just announced another great innovation for tourists for this summer.

More good ‘déconfinement’ news from Chamonix as the mountain refuges have started to reopen, with new health and hygiene protocols in place.
