Heading up My Destination Chamonix - Simon Hills

Originally from Tasmania, Simon moved to Chamonix in 1999 after falling in love with the place when visiting on vacation. Shortly after arriving in Chamonix, Simon founded Mountain Drop-Offs, which today is one of the leading Airport & In-Resort Transfer companies.

Having lived and worked in the Chamonix Valley for more than 7 years now, Simon has amassed a diverse level of contacts and information. The opportunity to put all this information to good use, and make money from it, seemed an almost foregone conclusion for Simon. Simon has now put a little team of mountain enthusiasts together in order to produce the most comprehensive online guide to all things Chamonix!
