Lonely Planet review

The town's illustrious Alpine history (the cliffhanging tale of local crystal hunter Jacques Balmat and doctor Michel Gabriel Paccard summiting Mont Blanc for the first time in 1786, the creation of the winter season etc) zooms into focus at the Musée Alpin. Find it inside 19th-century Chamonix Palace, one of three palace hotels built in Chamonix for the 1924 Olympics.
