7 days in Chamonix Itinerary

"Situated near the massive peaks of the Aiguilles Rouges and, most notably, the Aiguille du Midi, Chamonix is one of the oldest ski resorts in France and known as the Alpine Capital of the World.

Escape the urban bustle at Aiguille du Midi and Lake Annecy. You'll find plenty of places to visit near Chamonix: Annecy (Ile des Cygnes, Pont des Amours, &more), LAITERIE DE CHAMBERY (in Chambery) and Spa La Parenthese (in Aix-les-Bains). There's lots more to do: glide through the air with a parasailing or paragliding tour, contemplate the waterfront views at Lac de Tueda, look for all kinds of wild species at Aiguilles Rouges, and take in the awesome beauty at Glacier des Bossons.
