Summer Activity Holidays in the Mountains

Psst! We are about to let you into a little secret…Everyone who lives in the beautiful Chamonix valley knows that the mountains are just as much fun in the summer as the winter! Which is why it's our favourite destination for activity holidays!

There are tons of adventures to choose from on our summer activity holidays in Chamonix. And it’s the combination of the 4 holiday activities that you choose that will make your Mountain Action Holiday unforgettable.

By combining the activities, you get to set the energy, pace and tone of your stay with us. If you are up for high octane adventure – let’s go! If you are here to relax, unwind and explore – we’ve got you. And (and this is where it gets really good!) if each of you have different expectations, wants and needs from your summer holiday, you combine the holiday activity style so that you all come away with what you need.

Explore our map to find out what activities are available in the Chamonix valley during the summer and off peak months...

Each summer holiday activity we organise for you on the mountains are both unique and memorable due to our fabulous location at the foothill on Mont Blanc in the French Alps. Chamonix is 30 minutes away from Swiss Alps AND the Italian Alps, so you really are spoilt for choice.

For high energy adventure enthusiasts, we arrange mountain biking, climbing (there’s lots of different types of climbing dependant on your ability), and even glacier walking.

For a mountain adventure that’s completely different you might like to try tackling the Via Ferrata (Italian for “Iron-Path”) where you strap on a harness to enjoy the thrill of traversing rock, steps, ladders, bridges and even zip wires on the mountain.

And if you’d like a less strenuous mountain holiday activity, go for hikes in the mountains (tailored to your level), e-biking, horse riding or gorge walking.

For a kick of adrenalin, you can choose to go white water rafting, canyoning or surf on a “hydro speed” adventure - a thrilling white-knuckle ride also known as river boarding or “white-water sledging”. Whilst you are here it’s great to experience the calmer beauty of the local crystal-clear water lakes and pools. There are remote lakes, high up the mountains or ones with beaches on the valley floor. Some of the pools are indoors and others outside, enjoying the weather. One thing they all have in common is breath-taking view of the mountains.

You can charter a boat, paddle board or canoe depending on which lake you choose. All the while enjoying the warmth of the sun compared to the coolness of the fresh mountain water.

And for a touch of luxuriant relaxation adults can choose a spa, to relax unwind – and get ready for the next adventure!

If you’d like to get a birds-eye view of the beautiful Chamonix Mont Blanc valley, why not try paragliding, or even take to the skies in a helicopter or aeroplane. You will never see a view quite like the ones over the Alps, with pristine snow-capped mountains, rising from lush green valleys, pocketed with lakes and rivers…

You simply choose the activity combination that is right for your group. We take care of all of the details of each summer activity holiday for you, making sure you don’t lose precious time and that you cannot be disappointed.
Not only that - we take care of everything else too, from the gorgeous mountain-view accommodation, to the freshly prepared food from your personal chef in the chalet.

Allowing you to combine the right activities to ensure that everyone in your group walks away at the end of their summer holiday with memories that last a lifetime.

If you are not sure what combination will work well for you – don’t worry! We have done this before! And are here to help you all the way…
