Alone, with family or friends, you'll never be bored at the foot of Mont Blanc. Chamonix offers a wide range of outdoor activities. Here's a closer look at three of them, for young and old alike.
Plants and herbarium outing
A mountain guide and a painter will be on hand to take you on nature walks. Participants will learn how to make sketches and watercolours of plants in the field, before leaving with their own personalised herbarium.
Price : from €80 per person
Timetable : from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Information and bookings from Sébastien Perrier
Junior climbing course
Designed for young people aged 14 to 18, the climbing course offered by the Compagnie des Guides de Chamonix invites them to plunge into the magic of Chamonix's vertical scenery. Several sites will be explored each day, giving them access to as many landscapes as possible, while pushing back their limits.
Price : from €435 for a 4-day course

Via Ferrata
Head to Vallorcine for a sensational experience in the heart of nature. Departing from the hamlet of Le Buet, you'll pass by the Bérard waterfall, which winds its way through the gorge of the Bérard torrent, along the route of the new Via Ferrata. Tibetan bridges, footbridges, beams and monkey bridges are all on the menu.
