    Additional trip

    Host city of the 1924 Winter Olympic Games, the first in history, the City of Chamonix-Mont-Blanc celebrated this year the Centenary of the Games and  dynamically activated its rich legacy, also in connection with Paris 2024 Olympic & Paralympic Games. Home of mountaineering (but not only), Chamonix is pro-actively acting for the preservation of its exceptional environment. This year, Chamonix hosted the Paris Torch relay on Olympic Day. A unique opportunity to gain height, as we too did during our additional trip!
