The best fashion and gift stores Chamonix-Mont Blanc

Do you want? A shop for mountain technical clothing that is not a pro-shop? They were believed to be in the process of extinction, removed from the map of the city centre since the advent of stores entirely dedicated to the big brands of sport and mountaineering? ! Here, however, quality is at least as good as at North Face, Patagonia or Salomon: polar, sweaty clothing, ski pants and other medium and high-mountain jackets. The design is frills, the colors are vivid and the fabric made in France, something rare enough to underline it. It is not even rare to cross a ski instructor from the French Ski School here. Do you still hesitate? Take a look at the label…

After eight years as the race manager of the largest ski-sports device, serving the foot of the French runners of the Alpine ski world, one can say without too much progress that Jean-Michel is a pro. For your ski rental, you can trust him and his entire team without risking a bad surprise once at the top of the tracks. Here, the shoe shoe becomes chausson. Rental of ski, snowboard or hiking equipment, during the season when at the day: Sportech helps you choose the formula most suited to your needs. For this, a large choice of equipment among the biggest names in the sector: Ski Dynastar, Rossignol or Atomic, Slippers and Dynafit slippers, technical clothing Mammut or Burton and the eternal accessories Daineses, Level, Smith and Drake… From fine gear at attractive prices in the heart of the village of Argentière. 

In the winter, this "bi-bar" is dedicated to letting us cross the cross skis to cross the Nordic slopes that sail through this beautiful Mont Blanc country. We are advised between Fisher, Rossignol, Madshus or Peltanon skis (connoisseurs will also appreciate). Winter and summer are also the "accessories" essential to practice: footwear and technical clothing that protect us from weather, but still improve our performance. What is unique at this shop is the board! If you still don't understand why the Smart recommends it, come see yourself and you will understand our choice even better.

Would you like to visit Landru? No problem. The Jean Landru bookstore of rue Joseph-Vallot, facing the brewery l'M, offers a wide range of novels of all kinds, political tests and mountain books: Herzog, Rebuffat, Audibert, Frisian-Roche await you a firm spike. Books on mountaineering, hiking and trekking, BD, topographic maps, atlases, tales and legends or photos… Livres also, with portfolio trips across the mountains of Europe and elsewhere. Because we can be passionate about altitude and cosmopolitan, as long as: the sacred mountains of the Himalayas or the highlands of the Andes have their place on the Étagères shelves as well as the 4000 of the Alps. It is noted that in 2009 the bookshop obtained the label of independent bookstores (ITA) of the Ministry of Culture. It would ultimately be a crime not to stop there. 

The largest store dedicated to Glisse sports and mountain biking. In the summer, you will find a wide selection of Xcountry mountain bikes, enduro or 29 inches to see the trail and bike bike to attack the Montets Pass. In winter, the bike shop turns into a winter sports store dedicated to the temple of the mountain. Dealer, freestyle skis, technical clothing, GoPro cameras, topographic maps and DVDthèque on the slide… all spread over two floors, for a surface of 300 m ². And in all seasons, a workshop is there to fix the little pq of your fetish equipment, whether it is for a simple use of the hydraulic brakes of a mountain bike or a refurbishment of the sole and sharpening at the edge of a ski. The mechanics of Zero G know their subject. And you will even give their patients, the time of a ski exit or mountain biking, to better understand your future purchase. Work of pro.
