About Us
Supporting Accessible Sports
Chamonix is a great place to experience the mental, and physical, benefits of mountain sports.
Sport has been proven to reduce levels of stress hormones in the body. The endorphins produced during exercise further enhance mental well-being, and help to keep depression at bay.
Access Mont Blanc wants everyone to be able to visit the mountains we love and try the adventurous activities on offer.
