Musée Alpin

TIME : 2016/2/18 18:12:13

This engaging museum richly illustrates Chamonix' long history of Alpine adventure, including the cliffhanging feats of crystal-hunter Jacques Balmat and the first ascent of Mont Blanc by a woman (Marie Paradis, a local maidservant, in 1808). Ask at the ticket counter for printed information in English.
