The Mountains at the Heart of the Haute-Savoie with Jean-Michel Poupart
The Mont Blanc Valley is so amazing we decided to do our first video podcast - we hope you enjoy it. Chamonix is in the French Alps just north of Mont Blanc, and about an hours drive south of Geneva. Between the peaks of the Aiguilles Rouges and the Aiguille du Midi, it borders Switzerland and Italy and sits at the foot of Mont Blanc. It is one of the oldest ski resorts in France. AND Chamonix has some incredible skiing as well as history going back to Napoleon.
Jean-Michel Poupart lives in the Chamonix Valley with his family and two dogs. Jean- Michel has been a skiing instructor for 20 years in Chamonix he also specializes in off piste guiding; as a Mountain Leader member of the Compagnie des Guides de Chamonix, he knows the mountain and the town.
