Chamonix-Mont-Blanc or, more commonly, Chamonix is a commune in the Haute-Savoie department in the Rhône-Alpes region in southeastern France. It was the site of the 1924 Winter Olympics. The commune's population of around 9800 ranks 865th within the nation of France.
Situated near the massive peaks of the Aiguilles Rouges, Chamonix shares both the summit of Mont Blanc and the title of highest commune in France with its neighboring commune, Saint-Gervais-les-Bains. The commune is well known and loved by skiers and by mountain athletes of all types. Mont Blanc, at a height of 4810 meters, is the third most visited natural site in the world. This lends the area a notably cosmopolitan atmosphere. With an area of 95 square miles, Chamonix is the fourth largest commune in mainland France.
