The Mont Blanc range provides arguably some of the best walking in the world and Jeremy cannot wait to show you the area. There are walks for all levels and all weather conditions, from low valley scenic ambles, to easy access high mountain hikes.

Examples of walks:

• From the front door:- the world famous 'Sentier du Baroque' starts in Combloux runs 20 km. right past the bottom of our garden, and ends at Notre Dame de la Gorge in Les Contamines. The footpath visits numerous chapels, churches and shrines and is a great way to get a feel for the local architecture and culture, as well as being accessible to all ages and levels of walkers.
 
• The Summit of the Mont Joly from Les Communailles or the top of the St Gervais cable car:our local peak (2525 metres) makes you feel like you are on top of the world and gives you one of the best 360° panoramas in the Alps.The summit is also a superb viewing platform to watch either the sunrise or the sunset from - a truly unforgettable experience!

• Plan de l'Aiguille to the Mer de Glace: - Take the cable car from Chamonix up to the Aiguille du Midi to admire the view from 3800m. Get off at the middle lift station on the way down, and walk along the Grand Balcon Nord,to come out overlooking the Mer de Glace glacier. Walk down to the glacier and visit the ice cave dug into the side of the glacier. Take the Montenvers train back to Chamonix. This is a superb day out for even the most casual of walkers! 
• The Merlet animal park circuit, (start point 1563 m.): - this walk takes you up the Refuge Bel Lachat, with its breath-taking views of the Mont Blanc, then crosses over the bleak Carlaveyron plateau to the Aiguillette des Houches (2285m). Picnic on the ridge line with another superb 360° panorama to gaze at. Return via the Chalets de Chailloux. 

  The daunting 'Jonction' -  a must for all those fit enough! Take the seemingly slowest chair lift in the world to the foot of the Bossons glacier. Zig-zag up the spine of the Montagne de la Côte, following the route that Paccard and Balmat took on their first ascension of the Mont Blanc. Arrive at the top (2589 m.) above the 'Gite à Balmat' to witness one of the most incredible natural sights in Europe - two glaciers being split by the granite spine, creating a massive field of chaotic ice sculptures.

  The Col du Tricot (2120 m.) From Champel, just above St Gervais, walk up to the tongue of the Bionnassey Glacier. Picnic at the Col du Tricot, and then return via the Miage valley and a well earned beer at the Refuge de Miage. One of Jeremy's favourite circuits.
• Take the Tramway du Mont Blanc, a rack and pinion train, from the centre of St. Gervais to the Nid d'Aigle at 2372 metres. Then either follow the Bionassay glacier back down to the valley or go up over 3000 metres to the Refuge de Tête Rousse, springboard for the Mont Blanc summit.

• Jovets Lakes (2174 m.): from Notre Dame de la Gorge at the end of our valley, follow the old Roman road and Tour de Mont Blanc trail to just above La Balme. Branch off  eastwards and walk up beside cascading water to the magnificent Lacs Jovets.This is a superb walk for snow shoeing early in the season, when the marmottes are dazedly emerging from their burrows...
• Col de la Fenêtre,(2245 m.) with relatively easy access via the lift from Les Contamines, gives you a classic high mountain pass that is attainable by most levels of walkers. Superb views of the pastures of the Beaufortain on one side of the col contrast sharply with the rugged Mont Blanc rearing up on the other side. A walk full of contrasts!
