Frequently asked questions

What is the elevation of Chamonix in feet and metres?

Chamonix is at 1,042 m, or 3,417 ft, above sea level, read at a point within 200 m of its centre whose height is the median of the area. Within 5 km of the centre the ground runs from 986 m to 3,549 m.

Is Chamonix at high altitude?

No. At 1,042 m (3,417 ft), Chamonix is below 1,500 m (4,900 ft), where altitude has little effect on most people.

What is the highest point near Chamonix?

Within 5 km of the centre, the highest ground is 3,549 m (11,645 ft) at 45.89226, 6.90740. The lowest is 986 m (3,234 ft) at 45.89900, 6.81635.

How is the elevation of Chamonix measured?

From the Copernicus DEM, a 30 m elevation model made from satellite radar between 2011 and 2015. It includes roofs and trees, so the figure is read at the point whose height is the median of 81 points within 200 m of the centre, rather than at one point that may fall on a building.
