4K Chamonix, France - The Most Beautiful Alpine Town | Walking Tour & Hidden Gems

Immerse yourself in the history and beauty of Chamonix, one of the most famous Alpine resorts! ⛰️✨ This town has been attracting tourists since 1741 when British travelers first discovered it. It became the birthplace of mountaineering and later hosted the 1924 Winter Olympics.
🔹 We start our walk at the historic Compagnie des Guides de Chamonix, founded in 1821. This is where the world’s greatest mountaineers began their expeditions.
🔹 Learn about Jacques Balmat and Horace-Bénédict de Saussure, who first conquered Mont Blanc in 1786. Their courage paved the way for mountaineering across Europe.
🔹 Visit the legendary statue of Balmat, where he points toward Mont Blanc, the highest peak in Europe. This spot has inspired generations of adventurers.
🔹 Step inside Rose Du Pont, a restaurant housed in a historic Art Nouveau pink building, blending art, history, and exquisite cuisine.
🔹 In the next video, we’ll take the Montenvers train, running since 1909, to the Mer de Glace glacier. Once stretching for kilometers, it is now receding due to climate change.
