What to do in Chamonix in summer?

The valley is a paradise for walkers. From walks without an altitude difference to sporty hikes with nights in a refuge, from trails at the bottom of the valley to the high mountain itinerary, 350 kilometers of trails are available to its visitors.

Chamonix is also popular for trail running. Coming from the four corners of the planet, trail runners devote themselves to their passion on the many routes that line this natural space. Two legendary events take place each year: the Mont-Blanc Marathon and the UTMB®.

Thrill seekers can opt for paragliding or white water sports. Rafting allows you to hurtle down the Arve following the currents on board an inflatable boat. The freshness of the torrents is found when practicing canyoning. Another option: hydroglide. This popular sport allows you to swim in white water.

Mountaineering is another flagship sport in Chamonix. Mont-Blanc, the third most visited natural site in the world, is a legend for mountaineers. Supervised by mountain guides, mountain lovers will find in the massif something to satisfy their passion!

The last essential summer activity in Chamonix Mont-Blanc: climbing to the top of the Aiguille du Midi. To do this, simply take the Aiguille du Midi cable car, which is located near the Bellamy apartments with hotel services.
