Non-Skiing Activities

Chamonix can give you all you need to entertain you if you don't ski or don't want to ski every day.

Something else in the snow - Try dog sledging or snow shoeing – this is great fun for anyone who likes being outdoors but doesn't have the desire to get on two planks and get skiing.

Perhaps a bit of shopping - Chamonix has a great range of shops giving you the opportunity to buy a Chanel jacket from the Chanel shop or a pair of ski boots from Footworks but if that isn't enough you can zip through the tunnel and go to the Aosta Valley…but why stop there when Milan is only another hour down the road. And don't forget Geneva is just an hour away in the opposite direction.

Visit the Mer de Glace and have lunch with a difference - With so much nature around you and so many dramatic features it's a shame to stay in doors. Jump on the rack and pinion train which will take you up to the Mer de Glace, have lunch at the Montenvers Hotel and be back in time to join in with the Apres ski!

A trip in the worlds most famous cable car - Something else Chamonix is famous for – The Aguille de Midi Cable Car.

A day in a Spa - Within Chamonix you can spend the day relaxing in a spa at the Albert Premier hotel or just a hop outside the valley you have St Gervais Spa or the spas in the Martigny in Switzerland.

And if that's not enough there is always the cafes and bars to sit in and watch the world go by, markets to buy local produce from, films to watch in the cinema and museums and exhibitions to go and fill your head with culture. If you want any suggestion then don't hesitate to ask the Bigfoot team.
