Chamonix & our Chalet
Our two adjacent modern chalets are just a few minutes drive from Chamonix the original Alpine town with a relaxed atmosphere, pavement cafés and small traditional shops. Built to high specification, the chalets have 8 twin rooms, views of the Mont Blanc range and a garden with a jacuzzi. Most dinners are at the chalet and include wine.
Trekking, Biking & Rock Climbing
From our base we take two exhilarating day-walks - one to a high-altitude lake and another to see dinosaur footprints. Walking amongst breathtaking landscapes we can see Alpine flowers, marmots, chamois and various panoramic views. The mountain biking trip explores different parts of the valley travelling through thick forests and open Alpine meadows. The rock climbing takes place in the shadow of Mont Blanc and is suitable for both beginners and seasoned climbers.
Time to Relax!
The holiday is not all activities: we have a day trip to Italy where we explore the Roman town of Aosta with its Roman amphitheatres and cathedral to enjoy Italian coffee, great restaurants and traditional ice creams. For those who need a further adrenaline fix, there are many other optional activities when we return to Chamonix including; canyoning, glacier trekking and rafting.
Comment
No experience is needed for any activities although the trip will also appeal to those who have more experience. You need to have a decent level of fitness to enjoy the week. As a centre based holiday, there is less travelling and you can do as little or as much as you like.
