Chamonix is one of the must-see trail running towns. The starting and finishing point of the UTMB, this dynamic town centralizes everything trail running enthusiasts are looking for. Located at the foot of Mont Blanc (4,808 meters above sea level), the town is surrounded by exceptional natural sites. It also offers a wide selection of restaurants, bars, shops, and accommodations.

Chamonix-Mont-Blanc, Chamonix for short, is a charming town at the foot of Mont Blanc and has many surprises in store for mountain lovers. Because of its favorable location in a valley between the mountain ridges, Chamonix is a very popular tourist destination. It calls itself the "Mountaineering Capital of the World". The climb to the top of Mont Blanc, a trip to the Aiguille du Midi, to the Mer de Glace, the North and South Routes and much more are clearly worthwhile.
