Set on the relatively flat floor of the Chamonix valley, Golf Club de Chamonix plays beneath the Mont Blanc massif and the Aiguilles Rouges. Robert Trent Jones Sr. designed the current 18-hole layout around alpine streams, mature trees, strategic bunkering and frequently elevated, well-defended greens. The club began as a four-hole course in 1934, expanded to nine holes in 1935 and inaugurated its present 18-hole course in 1982.

What to Expect at Chamonix–Mont-Blanc

Why visit

Golf Club de Chamonix offers something unusual: a walkable valley-floor course framed by glaciers and steep Alpine peaks. Robert Trent Jones Sr. shaped the 18-hole layout around streams, trees and strategically placed bunkers, while the surrounding scenery gives nearly every hole a distinctive sense of place. The destination works best as a two- or three-night stop rather than a golf-only resort. Play the course, ride the Aiguille du Midi cable car, visit the Mer de Glace or spend a day hiking before continuing toward Geneva, Lake Geneva, Megève or northern Italy.

Accommodations

Chamonix has a broad range of hotels, chalets and apartments. Hotel Le Labrador is the most golf-focused choice because it sits beside the course in Les Praz, while central Chamonix offers easier access to restaurants, shops and mountain lifts.

Resort amenities

Golf Club de Chamonix provides a full-service golf experience in Les Praz, including a clubhouse, dining, practice areas and instruction. Hotel Le Labrador is located beside the course, while Chamonix's larger collection of restaurants, spas, shops and mountain transport is only a short trip away.
