Alpine adventures – climbing, skiing, mountaineering, etc. near Chamonix Mont-Blanc.
The rightly-so self declared world capital of Alpinism!
All year, but it rains a fair bit during the summer.
- We loved the classic rock route Chappele de Glier.
- We’ve tried flying (plus hire car) and the car all the way from home to get there. Not sure which is best, both have their advantages. Take your pick, sorry that’s the best I can offer!
- For comfortable accommodation try Hotel Les Cretes Blanches, not too expensive and very nice.
- There’s all sorts of stuff to do! I think Chamonix is much more of a general tourist resort than we climbers notice most of the time. Last winter we even went to watch a France vs Canada ice hockey game!
