Hiking

Many and varied trails begin from the village of Les Praz de Chamonix. But you can also head off from the top of lifts.
Here are some of our family favourites:    

• The climb up to la Floria for kids. There’s a little café up there serving simple lunches and drinks.    
• The Petit Balcon Sud to Argentière, returning by train 
•  Up to the Chapeau for a cold drink with a view of the Mer de Glace 
•  Lots of trails routes climb above the tree-line. Two of our favourites are: 
•  Plan de l’Aiguille – Montenvers: skirting the bottom of the Aiguilles de Chamonix 
•  The Lac Blanc: A picture postcard of Chamonix’s peaks
