Winter walking in Chamonix
Snowshoeing in Chamonix
For those who prefer walking silently in harmony with their surroundings rather than striding along hastily, snowshoeing is an ideal way of discovering the local fauna and flora, peacefully muffled in its winter cloak. Let yourself be tempted by this ancestral sport which will take you into the very heart of nature. Don't hesitate to engage the services of a local guide, not only will they ensure your safety, but they will enable you to discover remoter areas of the valley, whilst sharing their knowledge and love of this winter landscape with you. Winter pedestrian trails
Trails accessed via the lifts:There are marked trails, reserved for pedestrians, which can be reached via the lifts.
At the Grands Montets, a pedestrian trail links the mid station at Lognan, with the Plan Joran area (allow 2 hours for the return trip).
At Balme there is now a snowshoeing trail which departs from the top of the Vallorcine gondola, direction Les Posettes.
Trails in the valley:Approximately 17km of marked trails are accessible between Chamonix and Argentière. Three circuits allow pedestrians to discover the alpine scenery in all its diversity. The trails are marked in yellow on the cross-country ski map which is available from the tourist office and can be consulted on our website.
Ski touring in and around Chamonix
In Chamonix, ski touring has always been associated with discovering and rediscovering the mountains. It is practiced throughout the winter, but especially in the spring when the conditions are optimal. There are numerous possibilities departing from the valley, not least the famous « Haute Route » which links Chamonix with Zermatt in Switzerland -5 unforgettable days across the Alps. The day tours are accessed essentially from the top stations of the Grands Montets or the Flegere and they are of varying difficulty, so ideal for getting initiated with this wonderful sport. Ski touring necessitates a good knowledge of mountain and snow conditions. It is strongly recommended that you begin with a high mountain guide. Advice on mountain conditions is available through the Office de Haute-Montagne website.Mountain professional directory
