What to do and see in Chamonix, Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes: The Best Other Outdoor Activities
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).

We’ve been to la forêt magique with our small kids (age 4 and 6) lots of times. It’s in a nice shady spot when Cham gets hot and is open most of the year with a great starter trail for kids age 3+. The owner is super friendly and really puts the kids at ease when he explains the climbing kit. Great way to spend a few hours.
