Mont Blanc & Chamonix Walking Holidays

Chamonix lies directly under the Mont Blanc glaciers, and the GR5 runs straight through on its way south from Lake Geneva. The climb to the Brevent gives the classic view across the massif to the Aiguilles and the Mer de Glace. Beyond the valley the trail crosses the Beaufortain, cheese country, towards the Vanoise. Lifts, guides and mountain refuges are all straightforward to arrange, and high walking runs late June to mid-September.
