Ride the Aiguille du Midi cable car<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why it\u2019s a must-see<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A trip up to the Aiguille du Midi is a unique experience that takes you to an altitude of 3,842 metres in record time. With Mont Blanc facing you, the scenery is simply breathtaking, offering a <strong>360\u00b0 view <\/strong>of the French, Swiss and Italian Alps.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you arrive at the top, you simply cannot miss the famous <strong>\u201cPas dans le Vide\u201d <\/strong>(Step into the Void), a glass-bottomed cabin suspended over the precipice, guaranteeing a unique thrill and breathtaking views. This absolute must-see will make you feel as if you can reach out and touch the sky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Practical advice and weather<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To make the most of this climb, the golden rule is to plan ahead. Remember to <strong>book your tickets online<\/strong> in advance.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for equipment, don\u2019t be fooled by the warmth of the valley: even in the height of summer, temperatures at the summit can drop below freezing. <strong>Pack warm clothes<\/strong>, but also sunglasses and sun cream to protect yourself.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mornings generally offer <strong>better visibility <\/strong>and fewer crowds. Finally, those sensitive to altitude may experience slight shortness of breath, so it\u2019s a good idea to take your time once you reach the summit.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/kasya-shahovskaya-__sQnsCYj_I-unsplash-1024x625.jpg\" alt=\"Bird's eye view from Aiguille du Midi, one of the best activities in Chamonix.\" class=\"wp-image-63683\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: \u00a9 Kasya Shahovskaya via Unsplash<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-discover-the-mer-de-glace-and-the-montenvers-railway\">2. Discover the Mer de Glace and the Montenvers railway<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What you can see there<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A trip to the Mer de Glace is a chance to discover one of the most famous glaciers in the Alps. The journey aboard the Montenvers mountain railway takes you through magnificent high-mountain scenery, before a spectacular arrival at the foot of the glacier.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There, you can explore the magical atmosphere of the famous Ice Cave, which is carved out of the glacier every year. You can also admire the peaks of Les Drus and observe this living yet fragile testament to the power of nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Visiting with children: what you need to know<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are about 500 steps between the arrival point and the Ice Cave, making access difficult with a pushchair \u2013 if you can, use a <strong>baby carrier<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure your little explorers have good walking shoes, and allow around 2 to 3 hours to enjoy the full beauty of the place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For a safe visit and to learn more about the secrets of this magical place, consider booking a professional guide from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chamonix-guides.com\/en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Compagnie des Guides de Chamonix<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/gregory-dalleau-Q0CARQx1WQk-unsplash-1-819x1024.jpg\" alt=\"The little red train of Montenvers, one of the best activities in Chamonix.\" class=\"wp-image-78990\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/gregory-dalleau-Q0CARQx1WQk-unsplash-1-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/gregory-dalleau-Q0CARQx1WQk-unsplash-1-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/gregory-dalleau-Q0CARQx1WQk-unsplash-1-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/gregory-dalleau-Q0CARQx1WQk-unsplash-1-1229x1536.jpg 1229w, https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/gregory-dalleau-Q0CARQx1WQk-unsplash-1-1639x2048.jpg 1639w, https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/gregory-dalleau-Q0CARQx1WQk-unsplash-1-150x187.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/gregory-dalleau-Q0CARQx1WQk-unsplash-1-250x312.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/gregory-dalleau-Q0CARQx1WQk-unsplash-1-350x437.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/gregory-dalleau-Q0CARQx1WQk-unsplash-1-1140x1425.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/gregory-dalleau-Q0CARQx1WQk-unsplash-1-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: \u00a9 Gr\u00e9gory Dalleau via Unsplash<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-enjoy-a-hike-with-views-of-mont-blanc\">3.

One highlight is the <strong>Trois Gouilles trail<\/strong>, which winds through the forest and past charming ponds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, one of the favourite walking trails takes in <strong>Lac Blanc<\/strong>: after a gentle climb, you\u2019ll discover a mirror of crystal-clear water reflecting the snow-capped peaks. In summer, flower-filled mountain pastures and open landscapes make every walk picture-perfect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">More challenging routes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Experienced hikers will want to try the <strong>Grand Balcon Nord<\/strong>, which links the Plan de l\u2019Aiguille to Montenvers against a backdrop of spectacular high-mountain scenery. Other major challenges include the path leading to <strong>Le Br\u00e9vent<\/strong>, or the ascent of <strong>La Jonction<\/strong>, a demanding route that takes you to the meeting point of the Bossons and Taconnaz glaciers.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here, you\u2019ll be walking right alongside icy pinnacles and crevasses in a magnificent, rocky landscape. These routes require excellent physical fitness and sure-footedness in the mountains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"block-ovo-cta-button\">\n  <div class=\"wp-block-button\">\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/spring-hikes-chamonix\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"wp-block-button__link\">More information on walks from Chamonix<\/a>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/clemence-bergougnoux-zLIrNgNzPYs-unsplash-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"A hiker stopped on a lake shore, with mountains in the background.\" class=\"wp-image-73865\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/clemence-bergougnoux-zLIrNgNzPYs-unsplash-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/clemence-bergougnoux-zLIrNgNzPYs-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/clemence-bergougnoux-zLIrNgNzPYs-unsplash-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/clemence-bergougnoux-zLIrNgNzPYs-unsplash-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/clemence-bergougnoux-zLIrNgNzPYs-unsplash-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/clemence-bergougnoux-zLIrNgNzPYs-unsplash-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/clemence-bergougnoux-zLIrNgNzPYs-unsplash-250x167.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/clemence-bergougnoux-zLIrNgNzPYs-unsplash-350x233.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/clemence-bergougnoux-zLIrNgNzPYs-unsplash-1140x760.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/clemence-bergougnoux-zLIrNgNzPYs-unsplash-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: \u00a9 Cl\u00e9mence Bergougnoux via Unsplash<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-family-activities-in-chamonix\">4.

Outdoor activities<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mountain biking, paragliding, rock climbing and trail running<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Chamonix has long been a renowned destination for sports enthusiasts. <strong>Mountain bikers <\/strong>hurtle down the downhill trails of Les Houches or Le Tour, whilst <strong>climbers<\/strong> scale the legendary granite faces of the Aiguille du Midi and the Aiguille de Blaiti\u00e8re.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Paragliding<\/strong> is also hugely popular, thanks to the valley\u2019s wind conditions and the unobstructed views of the Mont-Blanc massif. Several local schools offer tandem flights suitable for beginners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Activities with professional guides<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To enjoy these activities in complete safety, it is important to seek the advice and expertise of experts. They will tailor the activity to your ability whilst sharing their passion for the mountains and the best spots in the valley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>Compagnie des Guides de Chamonix,<\/strong> a historic institution, offers guided climbing and mountaineering excursions. For paragliding, agencies such as <strong>Evolution 2<\/strong> or <strong>Ka\u00eflash<\/strong> organise safe introductory flights with qualified instructors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The UTMB, the world\u2019s premier trail running event in Chamonix<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Every summer, Chamonix hosts the <strong>Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc<\/strong>. This iconic event brings together around 10,000 runners of over 100 nationalities for a race spanning more than 170 kilometres across France, Switzerland and Italy.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The atmosphere is electric, the streets are buzzing with excitement and the runners\u2019 arrival at the Place de l\u2019\u00c9glise is filled with emotion. Whether you\u2019re a participant or a spectator, this is an extraordinary experience.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Escalade-yuccafilms-18-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Woman climbing a mountain in summer.\" class=\"wp-image-60581\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Escalade-yuccafilms-18-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Escalade-yuccafilms-18-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Escalade-yuccafilms-18-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Escalade-yuccafilms-18-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Escalade-yuccafilms-18-2048x1366.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Escalade-yuccafilms-18-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Escalade-yuccafilms-18-250x167.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Escalade-yuccafilms-18-350x233.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Escalade-yuccafilms-18-1140x760.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Escalade-yuccafilms-18-1920x1281.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: \u00a9 Yucca Films, Office de tourisme de Chamonix-Mont-Blanc<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-can-you-do-in-chamonix-when-it-rains\">What can you do in Chamonix when it rains?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If, unfortunately, the weather isn\u2019t on your side during your holiday, Chamonix offers plenty of alternatives\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Museums, wellness and culinary delights<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>Alpine Museum<\/strong> organises exhibitions on winter sports and the history of mountaineering in the Mont-Blanc region, whilst the Crystal Museum (known as <strong>Espace Tairraz<\/strong>) displays minerals from various regions of Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For those looking to unwind, there are several spas and wellness centres to choose from, including the <strong>QC Terme<\/strong> in Chamonix.

On the other hand, some establishments and activities may not be available during the mid-season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How many days should you allow?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For a varied stay that combines activities and relaxation, we suggest you spend between <strong>four and seven days<\/strong> in Chamonix. This will give you time to explore the must-see attractions such as the Aiguille du Midi or the Mer de Glace, as well as enjoying hikes, sporting activities and some time to relax.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A short stay of two to three days will give you a taste of the area, but the valley\u2019s many attractions will make you want to come back very soon!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Book activities in advance<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We strongly recommend booking your activities in advance, especially if you\u2019re visiting <strong>during the high season<\/strong>. Places on the Aiguille du Midi cable car, guided tours and activities such as paragliding often sell out by the morning of the day itself.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Booking in advance allows you to <strong>choose your preferred times<\/strong> and avoid long queues. You should also remember to book restaurant tables as well as your accommodation, so that you can enjoy your stay without any disappointments.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Spa-QC-Terme-QC-Terme-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"An outdoor swiming pool lit up at night.\" class=\"wp-image-46900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Spa-QC-Terme-QC-Terme-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Spa-QC-Terme-QC-Terme-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Spa-QC-Terme-QC-Terme-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Spa-QC-Terme-QC-Terme-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Spa-QC-Terme-QC-Terme-250x167.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Spa-QC-Terme-QC-Terme-350x233.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Spa-QC-Terme-QC-Terme-1080x720.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Spa-QC-Terme-QC-Terme-1280x853.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Spa-QC-Terme-QC-Terme-980x653.jpg 980w, https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Spa-QC-Terme-QC-Terme-480x320.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Spa-QC-Terme-QC-Terme.jpg 1475w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: \u00a9 QC Terme Chamonix<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-faqs-on-activities-in-chamonix\">FAQs on activities in Chamonix<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"ovo-block-faqs\">\n      <details\n      class=\"ovo-block-faqs__faq\"\n      open    >\n      <summary class=\"ovo-block-faqs__faq__question\">\n        <h4 class=\"ovo-block-faqs__faq__question__text\">\n          What is there to do with children in Chamonix in summer?
