Tour Du Mont Blanc
We invite you to take part in this spectacular circuit around Mont Blanc which is one of the world's classic hikes. From the massif of Mont Blanc (15,771 feet or 4807 metres), seven valleys extend into France, Italy and Switzerland. Each retains its own unique culture, architecture and landscape.
Trails
Home to hundreds of kilometres of single track trails, Chamonix's hiking trails offer something for everyone, from casual walkers to seasoned mountaineers. Offering vertiginous climbs, cozy mountain huts, and the opportunity to hike between countries, Chamonix is one of the world's premier trail running & hiking destinations.
Chamonix hosts many of Europe's premier trail races including The Ultra Trail of Mont Blanc, a 171km endurance course that starts and finishes in Chamonix, taking in 3 countries, 7 valleys and 10,000M elevation gain. Chamonix also hosts the Mont Blanc Marathon, which hosts a range of events from youth races to a 90km Ultra.
Climbing
One of the reasons Chamonix is a climbing mecca is not just the volume and quality of astonishing rock routes, but the majestic setting and backdrop of which those routes enjoy. For those wanting to try for the first time or to improve their skills, The Compagnie des Guides de Chamonix offers guidance from the novice level.
Golf
Situated in Les Praz, the Chamonix 18 hole golf course has one of the most beautiful summer views in the Alps.
