Description
Chamonix & our Chalet
Our two adjacent modern chalets are just a few minutes drive from Chamonix the original Alpine town with a relaxed atmosphere, pavement cafés and small shops. Built to a high specification, the chalets have 8 twin rooms, views of the Mont Blanc range and a garden with a jacuzzi. Transport is provided into/out of Chamonix in the evening for dinner and to explore the town.
Trekking & Mountain Biking
From our base we take an exhilarating day walk to a high-altitude lake. Walking amongst breathtaking landscapes we can see Alpine flowers, marmots, chamois and have panoramic views of the Mont Blanc range and glaciers. The mountain biking trip explores different parts of the valley travelling through thick forests and open Alpine meadows. After lunch at a local café, there is the option to continue mountain biking in the afternoon for a small fee or try your hand at a range of optional activities including rock climbing (beginners and experienced), paragliding or the Aiguille du Midi cable car.

Comment
An action packed activity long weekend in the depths of the beautiful Alps. No experience is needed for any of the activities, although the trip will also appeal to those with more experience. You need to a have a decent level of fitness to enjoy the long weekend. As a centre based trip, there is very little travelling and you can do as little or as much as you like.
