Refreshment stalls & restaurant chalets
Take a walk and discover the refreshment stalls and restaurant chalets on your way. Located in the lower valley or perched high in magnificent settings, they are the ideal destination for a family walk and a little gourmet break.
An unusual way of hiking
Dog hiking “Cani-rando” in French: Exploring nature with a dog as your most faithful friend. Dog hiking consists in letting yourself be pulled by a Nordic dog, guiding it by your voice and precise gestures. This activity is proposed by Huskydalen.
Horse riding in the Chamonix Mont-Blanc Valley. Trekking on horseback (half-day, full day or several days) for novice or confident riders.
Discover the Chamonix valley by horse... Different possibilities : one or two hours, or during full day !

The notorious : Tour of Mont-Blanc
The Mont Blanc Tour is a round tour hike of 200 km in medium-altitude mountains in France, Italy and Switzerland. It is suitable for all trained hill-walkers who are used to hiking on varied terrain, carrying a heavy back-pack.
This “GR” [grande randonnée] major hike can be completed in an average of eight to ten days with six hours of walking every day. Everybody makes stops according to their physical abilities, their training, their loads (particularly campers) and the weather.
We strongly recommend inexperienced hill-walkers to join a club or a group led by a mountain leader.
The Office de Haute Montagne welcomes hill-walkers and mountaineers. It will advise you in choosing your routes and in your searches, and in preparing for your adventure.
