Les Praz de Chamonix Explore Les Praz de Chamonix in the French Alps

Les Praz Church, Chamonix

A tranquil spot just five minutes from the cosmopolitan centre of Chamonix, Les Praz de Chamonix is a beautiful Alpine village. Ringed with woods and mountains, it's home to the Flegere lift, giving access to some of the most spectacular walking in Europe. The Chamonix golf course, also in the village, provides a world class eighteen hole course with magnificent views.

It's one of the sunniest parts of Chamonix, and is a deservedly popular place to stay or just enjoy. Take a look around with the photos, or find what you're looking for - there's information on transport, restaurants, things to do and more. If there's something you think should be added, please do get in touch!

Le Moulin des Artistes

La Forêt September 13th, 2009

This gallery is in a lovely old building in Les Praz – once a mill, as the name suggests. They always have something interesting inside from the collective based there, including Andy Parkin and Philippe Vouillamoz. We dropped in on the way back from Chalet Floria – it’s just beside the path back to the chalet – as they were having a big one-day exhibition of local artists. There’s another one planned for October 4th 2009 – hopefully they’ll continue on a regular basis,  as it seemed to be a big success with some lovely work on display.
