Hotel Heliopic is a stylish hotel right at the base of the Aiguille de Midi cable car. With a great location in the centre of Chamonix and amenities for all to enjoy, this is the perfect base for a walking holiday.

Enjoy luxurious facilities after a day of walking

The hotel has some great facilities, we particularly love the spa here which covers 500m² and is open all day for residents only (children are permitted between 10am-2pm with adult supervision). There’s an indoor pool which has been stylishly designed to offer plenty of light with calming aesthetics, and there’s also two steam rooms, a sauna and an ice cave.

A contemporary hotel with lots to offer

The hotel has a modern yet inviting feel to it with bright, contemporary rooms and tasteful furnishings. The reception area has several facilities to enjoy, with a small children’s play area (unsupervised) that’s great for keeping the little ones entertained. There’s also a bar where you can purchase a delicious beverage and enjoy the comfortable seating, soft lighting and windows looking down over the indoor pool. You’ll also find a small drinks station near the hotel entrance where you can help yourself to coffee and tap water throughout the day.

Chamonix

  • With the Mont Blanc on your doorstep, it’s no wonder the walking trails offer fantastic scenery
  • Chamonix’s full of summer activities with a lively town centre
  • Tuck into tasty Savoyard cuisine and enjoy hearty local dishes with rich flavours

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…
