The Vox cinema, in Chamonix

The Vox cinema is the historic cinema of Chamonix, recognisable by its trompe-l'œil of a film shoot. The Chamonix audio-guided tour stops here to evoke this place of culture and entertainment, open since the middle of the twentieth century.

The historic cinema of the valley

On the rear façade of the building, a pretty trompe-l'œil representing a film crew confirms that Chamonix is indeed equipped with a cinema. Opened in 1957, the Vox cinema is the historic cinema of the town and the valley. After decades of screenings, it today offers three recently renovated screens, which allow the inhabitants as well as the holidaymakers to enjoy the films on show throughout the year. Far from being reserved for skiing and the mountain, Chamonix thus offers a lively cultural life, and the Vox is one of its flagship places, particularly appreciated on days of bad weather or in the evening. With its charm and its long history, the Vox cinema is a convivial institution of Chamonix.
