Is there a church in Chamonix?
Yes, there are two churches. The most central one is the Catholic church of St Michel on Place du Triangle de l'Amitié (by the tourist office). Services are held every Saturday and Sunday, as well extra ones throughout the week on special days - a weekly timetable can be found either at the church itself or in the tourist office next door. The church also hosts frequent organ recitals and choral performances, have a look at our Chamonix Events Guide to see if there is anything scheduled for this season. The Protestant church, Eglise Réformée de la Vallée de l'Arve, is tucked away on Pass Temple - just behind the gardens and war memorial on the junction of Avenue Michel Croz and Rue Whymper. They have a lively community group with a strong anglophone influence, with regular events such as parent groups and carol concerts - call inside to enquire and to pick up a timetable for church services. There are also a number of smaller churches in Les Praz, Les Houches and Argentière - details of which can be found in the respective tourist offices on arrival.
