| Hiking, Walking and Trekking from Chamonix-Mt Blanc |  |
 |
 |
|||
 |
This is beautiful walking country with clear, clean air, dark pine
forests, gleaming glaciers and soaring rocky peaks. Lightweight boots and shorts are sufficient. Waterproofs are essential and trekking poles useful. Don't forget sunglasses and skin and lip protection. Always carry drinking water and check the weather forecast. Walks are well signposted and accessible either from the valley floor or by cable car (open usually from 15th June to September). Beware of patches of old snow, especially early in the season. In some instances an ice-axe and crampons may be useful; take local advice or check with chamonix.net. Interested in flowers, birds, wildlife or geology ? |
