Chamonix Video: 4th September 2014, Chamonix - Main Town

featured in Video Reports Author Ellie Mahoney, Chamonix Editor Updated

This week's #TBT or Throw Back Thursday comes from the early 70's when Chamonix used to host the "Ronde Hivernale Automobile", in what is now the Grepon car park. It's basically a classic car race on snow & ice, so there's lots of side ways car action, interesting 70's hair do's and clothing. The race still goes on to this day although not in Chamonix, and next years it's being held in Serre Chevalier
