With incredible mountain views, glaciers, sharp granite spires and the highest mountain in Europe, Chamonix is the perfect setting for an active week. Based at a comfortable chalet, the week is spent trekking, mountain biking and rock climbing amongst magnificent scenery with free days for optional paragliding and rafting.

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 cafes and small 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 served with unlimited 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 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 trip 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; paragliding and rafting.
