Top 7 Hiking Trails in Chamonix, Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes

December 29, 2021 Kaleigh Reichenbach

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).

Grand Balcon Nord : Plan de l'Aiguille du Midi - Montenvers

Reviewed By SylviaR1231

This is a very nice trail to walk. You can go up with the cable, then walk Gran balcon and go down with the little train. Or just walk down. Take a backpack with you with drinks and some food. Also better to take good hiking clothes with you because the wether can change quickly. When it is warm in the village can it be cold on the mountain. Take also a little first aid kit with you.
