As the air is thinner the ball flies further, for most golfers that would be reason enough to play golf in the Alps. But in case you are still not convinced here’s a few more; beautiful courses, fantastic scenery, ball flies further, easy access, and a huge choice of courses. The Chamonix 18 hole par course was designed by Robert Trent Jones Snr as a technical course characterised by its water hazards and well protected greens.

To make a holiday of it you can play an any number of course within an hours drive of Chamonix including Lac D’Annecy, Crans Montana (European Open), and Evian(Evian masters), to name but a few.
