Résumé anglais Chamonix, the leading ski-resort in the French Alps , in terms of both its size and reputation, went through a severe growth crisis from 1965 to 1987. The growth in housing was not accompanied with the relevant sports and leisure facilities, therefore significant problems occured during the winter seasons (long queues at ski-lifts, frequent breakdowns in equipment...). The analysis carried out in this context shows that despite a few complaints Chamonix has maintained a strong image and a wide reputation among foreign and French customers. Its market position as an international ski-resort is well developed in relation to sports facilites but is still weak in commercial and cultural activities.
