Planificar mi viajeExplora el fascinante pasado de Chamonix-Mont-Blanc y descubre cómo se ha desarrollado a lo largo de los siglos.
The Chamonix Valley was populated since ancient times by Celtic and Allobrog tribes before integration into the Roman Empire; In 1091, Count Aymon I of Geneva ceded the valley to Benedictine monks, who founded the priory that administered rural and livestock life for centuries.
The valley was opened to the world in 1741 after the visit and stories of the British explorers William Windham and Richard Pococke, fascinated by the 'Mer de Glace'. In 1786, Michel-Gabriel Paccard and Jacques Balmat achieved the historic first ascent of Mont Blanc, prompting the creation of the prestigious Compagnie des Guides de Chamonix in 1821 and attracting the European aristocracy.
Host of the first-ever Winter Olympic Games in 1924, Chamonix completed engineering milestones such as the Aiguille du Midi cable car (1955) and the Mont Blanc Tunnel (1965). Today it is the planetary benchmark for freeride, ultra-endurance trail running (UTMB) and mountain tourism 365 days a year.
