Summer Activities
Although Chamonix is perhaps best known for winter skiing, in fact the area has more visitors during the summer months. There are dozens of activities suitable for all levels, ages and wish for adventure thrill.
Mountain Biking
There are dozens of excellent marked trails throughout the Chamonix Valley, ideal for cross country Mountain Biking and all ride from the door of the chalet. For downhill enthusiasts we have 2 purpose built tracks at Vallorcine, just a short distance by train, van or even bike from Chamonix. Just as challenging are all the routes that lead from the other ski lifts – Grands Montets, Brevant, Flegere and Les Houches.
For mountain bike rental we recommend Magasin Intersport Chamonix Nord – The Chamonix Bike shop, placed on 240 av du Bouchet, just next to MBC bar.
MTB Special Weeks – contact us if you are a group – we can organize either formal guiding with a local guide, or just provide an “advice” service – maps, guide books plus drop-offs or pick-ups using our minibus & trailer.
Hiking & Walking
The Chamonix area is a walkers paradise – the area has literally hundreds of kms of hiking trails. Some start just meters from our door. Choose the lower valley trails for the wonderful dark pine forest scents or gain altitude and admire the fantastic panoramas of snow covered peaks and rocky mountain faces.
A comprehensive walking guide and map are on sale at the Chamonix tourist office.
If you are interested in guided walks, ask us and we help you to sort something out that suits your level and expectations.
