Chamonix joins The Mountain Collective

Chamonix Mont-Blanc Valley has joined the Mountain Collective as the newest global affiliate for the 2015-2016 winter season.

Chamonix is the first destination in Europe to be included in the Mountain Collective, granting access to the best and most varied terrain in the world.
