Hiking, Walking and Trekking from Chamonix-Mt Blanc
This is beautiful walking country with clear, clean air, dark pine forests, gleaming glaciers and soaring rocky peaks.
Lightweight boots and shorts are sufficient. Waterproofs are essential and trekking poles useful. Don't forget sunglasses and skin and lip protection. Always carry drinking water and make sure to check chamonix.net for the weather forecast.
Walks are well signposted and accessible either from the valley floor or by cable car (open usually from 15th June to September).
Beware of patches of old snow, especially early in the season. In some instances an ice-axe and crampons may be useful; take local advice or check with chamonix.net.

Take the Mt Blanc Express (direction Martigny) and get off at Les Marecottes in Switzerland. Have a look round the zoo and take a walk. In the Swiss railway stations there are free copies of a booklet of suggested walks "Les Sentiers de l'Evasion". Remember to take your passport!
