Chamonix: Inauguration of ten viewpoints and five themed trails

On Tuesday 11 October 2022, the elected officials from community of communes of the Chamonix Valley and association leaders gathered for the inauguration of ten viewpoints, places of observation and interpretation of the natural heritage, and five thematic trails.

Since 2016, the Chamonix-Mont-Blanc Valley has been committed to the “Espaces Valléens” project, with the objective to promote the diversification of summer tourism, based on the enhancement of the natural and cultural heritage of the territory.

For this project, several Chamonix associations have mobilized to help with documentary research and the choice of photos and illustrations.
