Hiking and walking are hugely popular in the Alps in the summer, it is often the best way to enjoy the beautiful surroundings at your own leisurely, or not so, pace.  Trails are usually extremely well marked and resort tourist offices can offer advice on walks that are appropriate for your level of fitness or ability.  Buy yourself a pedestrian pass for the lifts and you won’t even have to tire yourself out by walking up the hills!

Our top choice for a summer hiking destination is Chamonix.  Dominated by the magnificent Mont Blanc, the clean, crisp air, beautiful pine forests, shimmering glaciers and dramatic rocky summits make it as wonderful a hiking destination as you could wish for.
Walking routes are clearly signposted and easily accessed either by cable car or from the valley floor itself.
Enjoy a stay in the high quality, centrally located La Ginabelle residence and make the most of what Chamonix has to offer.
