The Hotel Alpina has a fresh and contemporary style. The rooms are really cosy and combine urban and alpine styles. When you want to relax, check out the spa area and pamper yourself after a day of walking in the mountains.

Enjoy scenic summer views

The Hotel Alpina has a great location, not far from the centre of Chamonix. The best way to appreciate the Alpina’s location is to head to the Vista bar on the 7th floor where you’ll find an excellent drinks menu (payable locally) as well as 180° panoramic views. You can sip on a beverage whilst admiring the mighty Mont Blanc or, look down and witness the flurry of activity happening in Chamonix below.

An adventure in the mountains

For those after a unique experience in Chamonix, the Hotel Alpina offers the opportunity to book one unforgettable night in the Refuge du Montenvers (additional charge, on request, must be booked in advance and is subject to availability). Sitting on the top of the Mer de Glace, high in the Chamonix Alps, it's the perfect place to watch the sun go down. This night includes a trip on the Montenvers Railway which takes you to the hotel, dinner and breakfast.

Chamonix

Chamonix is a holiday destination on every mountain-lover’s bucket list, a working town (rather than sleepy resort village) that’s as busy in summer as it is in winter. Because of the mega mountains that surround it (Chamonix sits at the foot of the Mont Blanc massif, to name just one) and the extreme athletes that come here to play, it’s known as the adventure capital of Europe. But for the rest of us, those towering mountain peaks and the lush valleys make the most breath-taking backdrop for hiking, biking or simply relaxing.

Panoramic views on the trails within the Tour du Mont Blanc

Take the Aiguille du Midi cable car that whisks you up the Mont Blanc massif to the top of Europe. It’s worth it for the views alone, with panoramic views of the French, Swiss and Italian Alps. Visit the museum or watch mountaineers set out for the summit.

In fact, the Chamonix valley has one of the best summer lift systems in the Alps, with cable cars, gondolas, funiculars and chairlifts to give you a boost on your hike or bike, or easy access to new areas for sightseeing (payable locally and open during selected dates, see 'walking' tab below for further information on summer lifts).

Walking holidays in Chamonix

A summer hiking destination since the mid 1700s, and positioned on the Tour du Mont Blanc, Chamonix has a huge complex of trails, whatever your pace. The Lac Blanc is a popular walking trail, it's well-marked and offers stellar views. If you’re up for more of a challenge, the Grand Balcon Sud day hike will lead you through forests, meadows and high alpine terrain. Look out for traditional mountain refuges along the routes for refreshments.

Explore the Mer de Glace (the Sea of Ice)

The largest glacier in France - 7 kilometres long and 200 metres deep - it was the Mer de Glace that put Chamonix on the map as a holiday destination back in the 1800s. Although fast receding, during certain summer months you can visit the caves inside this living glacier, with its ice sculptures and crystals, as well as the Glacorium exhibition museum nearby that’s dedicated to glaciology.

Family holidays in Chamonix

Adventure parks, zip lines and outdoor activities. The Chamonix valley has no shortage of kids’ activities. Families after a holiday in nature will love Chamonix, the walking routes are beautiful and range from valley level walking to more challenging hikes, for kids up to the task. The adventure and leisure parks are great fun for all, as is the Montenver train. See our 'things to do' tab for more information on family activities.

Adventure-sport central

There’s probably no more active or adventurous place in the world with many different activities on offer as well as events throughout the summer. Explore the extensive walking trails, or, perhaps find a sunny deck to watch all the action from…
