No, not a climb but a local business which serves climbers and walkers. First Snell Sports was bought out by Twinner, now the town stands to lose its last local grocery store.
You’ve probably stopped into or walked past the Alimentation Generale store on the Av. Aiguille du Midi on your way to the Aiguille du Midi lift station. It is the last locally owned food store in town and has been supplying climbers and walkers for years. The growing number of Casino grocery markets in town is squeezing them out as the town slowly loses its local flavor. The family has been hanging on but may have to close down next year.
If you care at all about helping the valley keep some of its local culture, stop by the Alimentation General (same building as the Au Bon Coin hotel) and pick up a few things. Francoise has cheerfully supplied visitors for years and it would be a shame to lose a Chamonix original.
