Chamonix Day Tours - France

France - Chamonix

Chamonix early season day touring from a comfortable hotel base.

The snow is often excellent at this time of year, the crowds absent and the weather stable. We plan to enjoy a selection of superb tours in the Mont Blanc Massif, the Aiguilles Rouges, the nearby French pre-Alps and the Aosta Valley.

Six great day tours which could include the Col de Beugeant, Col du Cicle, Col du Passon, Col d’Argentière, Punta Croce, Punta de la Pierre and tours from the Vallée Blanche.
