© Ville_de_Chamonix-Mont-Blanc - The ski jump ‘Le Mont’ is at the foot of the Mont-Blanc, built for the 1924 Games, and continues to be in use today for training and some competitions.

The hill staged a number of ski jumping competitions after the Games, including the inaugural FIS Nordic World Ski Championships in 1937, the 1960 Winter Universiade, and several FIS Ski Jumping World Cup and Nations Grand Prix events. It lost its FIS accreditation in 2001, however, and hosted its last international competition that winter. Efforts were later made to raise funds to upgrade the venue and bring it in line with FIS requirements, but these failed when priority was given instead to another ski jumping facility nearby.

The site has been used for ski jumping since 1905. The ski jump built for Chamonix 1924 was modelled on the Holmenkollbakken, the venue for the ski jumping events at Oslo 1952 and underwent four modifications through to 1982. Jason Lamy-Chappuis and Emmanuel Chedal share the hill record of 110 metres, set at the French Championships in 2007.
