Aiguille du Midi
Iconic cable car to 3,842m with views across the Mont Blanc massif, Italy and Switzerland. One of the great alpine experiences - weather dependent.

Rest day favourite

Always possible
🍷
Après-Ski & Local Food
Chamonix has a strong après scene from hot wine at mountain huts to proper restaurants. Savoyard cuisine - raclette, fondue, tartiflette - is the move.
Always possible
🚶
Valley Walking
The valley floor paths between Chamonix, Argentière and Les Houches are walkable in winter. Flat, scenic, and an easy way to explore without skis.
Non-skier friendly
🎿
Cross-Country Skiing
The valley has marked Nordic ski trails - an alternative to downhill and included on Mont Blanc Unlimited. Excellent for a change of pace on day two.
Always possible
🇮🇹
