Chamonix
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- You could just go from Annecy to Chamonix or somewhere around there instead of Wengen. It would offer the same mountain experience but with much less travel (especially for only 2 days in Wengen).
- london + a quick ski trip works perfectly - fly into london for 4-5 days (bloomsbury or south ken for your vibe), then cheap flight to innsbruck or chamonix for 3 days of skiing, fly home from there.
- Next winter (skiing focus): Geneva → Chamonix (maybe) → Zermatt → Glacier Express → St. Moritz → Zurich
- Chamonix in the summer sounds up your alley.
- Love love Chamonix. Was there last year.
Cons
- in which case you're not getting much from Chamoix, Anecy or Hallstadt, Zermatt other than staying in expensive places with little to do.
- I have skied back to town in Chamonix many times in the past, with reasonable certainty. Haven't been close on multiple trips over the last decade or more.
- It’s 68 euros a day, that’s same price as chamonix
- just had a week in Chamonix and was surprised how old the infrastructure is in comparison.
- I know Chamonix has a reputation as a playground for rich people.
