There is a certain thrill to climbing pure steep water ice and Chamonix is perfectly placed geographically between the venues of Cogne and Kandersteg. These lie on opposite sides of the main east-west mountain divide and so one or the other will come into condition no matter which direction the autumn and winter storms predominate from. Chamonix also hosts plenty of its own ice venues from single to multipitch, walk and ski approaches.
