Hiking in Chamonix

Internationally renowned long-distance hiking trail from Italy via Slovenia, Austria, Germany, Liechtenstein, Switzerland and France to Monaco.

The 2150 kilometre GR 5 connects the North Sea from Rotterdam to Nice and the Mediterranean via Belgium, Luxembourg and Switzerland. It is part of the European E2 Trail. The hike on the GR 5 leads mainly into the Grande Traversée des Vosges, the Jura and the Alps.

The Tour du Mont-Blanc is a popular long-distance hiking trail in Europe. The Tour du Mont-Blanc (also called Mont Blanc Trail) is a long-distance hiking trail around the mountain massif of the same name in the French, Italian and Swiss Alps. An incredibly beautiful, panoramic and sometimes foggy hike awaits you on the Tour du Mont Blanc. I found the tour terrific. Chapeau!

THE mythical Chamonix hike with a breathtaking view

Die 25. Etappe der Schweiz-Durchquerung von Basel zum Mont Blanc führt von Moede-Anterne auf den Brevent oberhalb von Chamonix. 

Chamonix-Mont Blanc ist das Ziel dieses 25-tägigen Trekkings von Basel durch die Schweiz und ein Stück Haute-Savoie. Das Schöne daran: Man sieht den höchsten Berg der Alpen schon von den Jurahöhen aus. 

This challenging day begins with a tough ascent from Tré-le-Champ to Lac Blanc, a gorgeous alpine lake, before descending down to La Flégère and further on to Planpraz, from where you take the cable car down to Chamonix. Unfortunately, the Flégère cable car is closed in summer 2019 for refurbishment.  

In the heart of a generous and varied nature, next to the high alpine summits but also to the people who live this massif every day, the GR5 Alps will not leave you indifferent! Dare the alpine adventure and experience the freedom!

This walk will take you from the small town of Argentière through the valley in the direction of Chamonix, before you return to Argentière on the other side of the valley.
