It has stood in the very center of Chamonix since 1887. This statue pays homage to the pioneers of Mont Blanc. It is often wrongly believed that these were the first two men to have climbed the famous highest point. But this is not the case. If the man who points his index finger towards the top is indeed Jacques Balmat, the second character is not Doctor Paccard. Together, the two Chamoniards made the first ascent of Mont Blanc in August 1786.

One of the most typical restaurants in Chamonix. The Hot Dogs (Cool Cats) are to die for.
