Home to the highest mountain in Europe, the most extreme off piste in the world and awe inspiring views Chamonix has long being renowned for being the best of best! It is no surprise then that the après ski in town is no exception to this rule and so in honour of this this I spent a week exploring first hand 'The Best of Chamonix'!
Best Beer

Their delicious selection is brewed using only the finest ingredients and water sourced from Chamonix glacier fed streams without any preservatives or additives. MBC is open every day from 4pm -2 am and beer is not their only forte. They also offer a cracking selection of snacks and meals including half price chicken wings every Monday night!
