Chamonix summer for children:
Chamonix is a fantastic place to come to during the winter and the summer. In the winter the skiing speaks for itself, but in the summer there are lots of great activities for children. From the spectacular walks all over the valley, and natural attractions like the glacier 'La Mer de Glace' with its ice cave - visited by train, and Europe's highest cable car; the Aiguille du Midi for the most breathtaking views of Mont Blanc (see the mountaineers on their way up) and the alps, Chamonix has a great out doors adventure park, summer toboggan run, ice rink, swimming pool, and horse riding. And for those more adventurous there are lots of organised activities (hourly, daily or weekly) in rock climbing, adventure hikes, canyoning, rafting, tyrolean traverse, and mountain biking. Mountain bikes are easily hired and one of the mountain bike tracks starts just outside the chalet door and goes the 8km to Chamonix, which is mostly downhill and good for children from 6 upwards.
