The mountains offer a truly rewarding experience for hill walkers, with spectacular views, peace and tranquillity and of course excellent mountain restaurants offering Savoyard cuisine.
The ski lift system, which is open for bikers and hill walkers in the Summer, will allow hikers to cover many miles of alpine terrain whilst opening up the higher altitudes to the more gentle ramblers too.
The mountains feature hundreds of miles of trails which are well marked and mapped out for ease of orientation. Hiking or hill walking does not have to be too strenuous and can either consist of a gentle walk to a mountain restaurant or a more adventurous half or full day hike.
You can make use of a mountain guide to orientate you around the mountain, or we can provide you with suggestions and route maps so that you can take to the hills under your own steam. Glacier walks can also be arranged.

Please note that we do not advise hiking individually, always try to do so with at least one other person. For unguided walks, we would also advise that you leave details of your intended route and expected time of return with our chalet staff and reps.

Many of our guests choose to book their activities on arrival in resort once they have spoken with our Activity Reps who will give advice and recommendations. Although we can pre book activities in advance, this does not guarantee availability or a set day on which the activity will run, this is due to weather or supplier/logistic restrictions. In these instances you will be offered an alternative activity or a full refund in resort.
