For something a little different, indoor activities such as spa treatments and wine tastings in Chamonix make for indulgent and memorable evening experiences.
During warmer months, there are beautiful hiking routes to be explored, with the majestic sights of the Couloir du Grand Chantet and La Pierre a Bosson nearby, as well as the popular ascent to glacial Lac Blanc, which rewards hikers with mesmerising views of Mont Blanc. You can also spend a sunny morning hiking along the picture-perfect Petit Balcon Sud to reach Chamonix-Mont-Blanc, in time for a well-earned lunch of raclette and a glass of wine.
