Chamonix is undeniably one of the must-visit destinations in the Alps and Haute-Savoie! Famous for its exceptional location at the foot of Mont Blanc, it is also recognized as the world capital of mountaineering.

Throughout history, its streets have been walked by countless explorers eager to take on the legendary slopes of Mont Blanc and its surrounding peaks. Chamonix's legacy took a pivotal turn in 1786 when two Chamoniards, Jacques Balmat and Michel Paccard, made the first ascent of Mont Blanc on August 8. From that moment on, the mountains became a vast and thrilling playground.

During your team-building event in Chamonix, immerse yourself in this fascinating world by trying one of our unique activities:

As you explore the streets of Chamonix, solve puzzles to score as many points as possible and help Jacques Balmat and Michel Paccard win the race to the summit, initiated by the Geneva scientist De Saussure!

👉 Olympiads – Did you know that Chamonix hosted the very first Winter Olympic Games in 1924? To celebrate this historic sporting event, the team at Agence 1786 has designed its own unique Olympic challenges—ones they believe should be featured in the 2030 Games! Laser biathlon, shepherd’s sling shooting, roped obstacle courses, orienteering, strength challenges, and icy sled races—there’s something for everyone!
