10 Hiking & Camping Tours in Chamonix That You Shouldn't Miss

June 22, 2021 Leonarda Pillsbury

As host of the first Winter Olympics in 1924, Chamonix will always have a place in the history books. Its main attractions are Mont-Blanc (Western Europe's tallest mountain) and the many ski areas that face the Chamonix Valley. Steep slopes and extreme weather conditions suit advanced skiers best, but there are also runs for beginners. Just make sure everyone in your party knows a green circle from a black diamond. Oh, and another note for the history books—Pierce Brosnan was here (filming a James Bond movie, The World Is Not Enough).

Cloud 9 Adventure

Trekking & snowshoeing walks in the Chamonix valley and beyond. We can organise anything from a half-day snowshoe hike in the winter, to a day out walking or mountain biking, to a multi-day trek such as the Tour du Mont Blanc or the Haute Route from Chamonix to Zermatt. Not only are we are Tour du Mont Blanc specialists, but we also do some of the lesser known treks in the area, such as the Tour of the Monte Rosa, the Tour des Combins, Tour des Fiz, Tour des Dents du Midi, Tour des Muverans, and further afield. Whether you need a guided hike, or you'd prefer to be independent, let us do the organising! We can book your accommodation and transport for a self-guided trek. We also offer the Walker's Haute Route from Chamonix to Zermatt, a day out on the Italian side of Mont Blanc, overnight trips to stay in a mountain refuge, and our excellent guides know every corner of the Chamonix valley!
