Higher routes from the Bellevue cable car showcase the main Tour du Mont Blanc trail, including the ascent to Le Prarion with its extensive views and a long descent through woodland. A day’s outing leads to the waterfalls and hamlets of the Aiguilles Rouges Nature Reserve, with an option to visit a cave linked to the Robin Hood of the Alps. The last full-day walk is the scenic climb to Lac Blanc, where the vast Mont Blanc range stretches into view, sheer faces and icefields in clear sight.

The hotel offers a swimming pool, sauna and a garden with mountain vistas. Should the legs tire, there is always the cosy bar or the village of Chamonix just a short bus ride away. The week includes some longer ascents and descents, so a reasonable level of fitness suits this steady-paced holiday.
