A tranquil spot just five minutes from the cosmopolitan centre of Chamonix, Les Praz de Chamonix is a beautiful Alpine village. Ringed with woods and mountains, it's home to the Flegere lift, giving access to some of the most spectacular walking in Europe. The Chamonix golf course, also in the village, provides a world class eighteen hole course with magnificent views.

It's one of the sunniest parts of Chamonix, and is a deservedly popular place to stay or just enjoy.
