  • Start/End: Chamonix, France
  • Distance hiked: 0 miles

I had no plans today other than to walk around Chamonix and see the sights. It was the best kind of zero day. On the recommendation of an acquaintance who’s been to Chamonix tons of times, I went to Shouka for my morning coffee and pastry, and I ended my day with a gelato cone from Chez Richard. In between those two delightful treats, I did my own little walking tour around Chamonix, taking in all the sights and window-shopping at the many outdoor retailers.

Starting my day at Shouka
Passerelle Place du Mont Blanc
La Terrassee – fantastic Art Deco architecture
Eglise Réformée Arve Mont-Blanc (aka the hidden church)
High Mountain Office
Paroisse Saint Bernard du Mont-Blanc

Of course I found a brewery to celebrate my thru-hike after the sun returned
