The Arve river
Fed by glaciers of the Mont Blanc massif, the Arve runs through the centre of town and sets the southwest-northeast line along which almost every street, road and track is arranged.

The resort
About this Chamonix map poster
Chamonix fills the floor of a deep, straight valley, and its map follows the Arve river from the southwest toward the Swiss border. The town centre sits where the valley is widest, with a web of older streets around the church and the river, and then a line of hamlets such as Les Praz and Argentière continues upstream. On both sides the contour lines crowd in steeply.
The valley's place in mountaineering history is long: Mont Blanc was first climbed from here in 1786, and Chamonix hosted the first Winter Olympic Games in 1924. The Aiguille du Midi cable car lifts visitors from the edge of town to close to 3,800 metres, and the Mont Blanc Tunnel, opened in 1965, runs from the valley's southern end into Italy.
A Chamonix map poster turns this dramatic setting into something calm: a river, a railway line, a main road and a slim town strung between them. The mountains are present mostly as absence, the blank ground where streets stop and the slopes begin. It suits anyone who has climbed, skied or simply stood in the centre looking up.

Aiguille du Midi lift
The cable car starts at the southern edge of town and climbs in two stages to a rock needle high above the valley, one of the highest lift-served viewpoints in Europe.
Valley hamlets
Beyond the centre, Les Praz, Les Tines and Argentière appear as small separate clusters along the river, each a short knot of streets gathered around the road and the railway.

Why Chamonix
A map that means something
Chamonix means different things to different people: a first alpine route, a ski trip, a summer of hiking the valley trails, a stage of the Tour du Mont Blanc. The valley map holds all of those at once, and its long, directional shape looks strong on a wall.
Add a title, a subtitle and your own coordinates line, perhaps marking a refuge or the date of a climb, and choose between Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint and Sand. A digital set costs $9, or order a matte print shipped from one of our partners in over 30 countries.
