Between Michelin-starred restaurants, luxury chalet rentals, and ski lessons, why not take advantage of your stay to treat yourself to some activities off the beaten track? Your Homebooker concierge service offers you a selection of the most unusual activities in Chamonix.
Chamonix is one of the most exclusive peaks in the Alps: clean air, mountains as far as the eye can see, and, above all, a multitude of activities to discover with family, friends, or loved ones. Whether you're looking for typical and authentic experiences or something more original, here is a carefully curated selection of unusual activities to discover in Chamonix!
An unusual and completely trendy activity to do with children to discover all the secrets of the resort. A treasure hunt, like an outdoor escape game, with a digital headset for an independent walk. Clues, puzzles, discovery of the town's heritage and secret addresses: it's a real moment of sharing, reflection, and laughter. Available all year round, the Enigmatorium experience will appeal to the whole family.
The exclusive hike in Chamonix. Between natural wonders and breathtaking scenery, the Aiguille du Midi and the Mer de Glace await you for a day dedicated to altitude and ecology. A timeless journey, following in the footsteps of the first mountaineers, but with the comfort of a cable car ride, a local lunch on site, and a return trip aboard a traditional little train. An activity combining panoramic views and fresh air to better understand climate change.
An unusual and majestic place to discover in the heart of the resort: the Casino Royal de Chamonix. For lovers of gambling or gastronomy, with the restaurant located in the heart of the building, come and discover this place steeped in history, reminiscent of the beginnings of gambling in the 19th century. Completely redesigned several times, the Casino has been the scene of many memorable evenings in Chamonix, and although it is now very modern, it retains the charm of the casinos of yesteryear. Stroll among the slot machines and gaming tables and imagine yourself in formal attire over a century ago. An experience in the heart of Chamonix.
What if you discovered you had the makings of a great athlete? Biathlon, one of the winter sports in which the French excel, can be found in Chamonix. A completely safe immersion in this Olympic sport combining speed in Nordic skiing and dexterity in rifle shooting.
Experienced and passionate instructors will teach you all the tricks and techniques of this demanding sport, which you are sure to love. Individual start, prone shooting, and pickaxe shooting: come and familiarize yourself with the vocabulary of one of the resort's favorite sports activities!
A day of patience and wonder. Set off on snowshoes or with your walking sticks to discover all the riches of Chamonix's flora and fauna. In winter, the beauty of the peaks will take your breath away, and with a little luck, you may spot ibex or chamois. In summer, the sight of marmots and wildflowers will leave you completely amazed. These excursions are led by a mountain guide, who will teach you how to listen, observe, and above all, not disturb these animals, which are as wild as they are inseparable from the high peaks.
A totally unusual and immersive activity, where you will discover how to live in the heart of nature and sleep in a tent. Accompanied by an experienced guide, who will leave you to your own devices, set off to explore the peaks for a night by headlamp. An extraordinary experience that you won't soon forget, in the spirit of getting back to basics.
An evening outing that is as unusual as it is delicious, focusing on hiking and discovering mountain cuisine. Enjoy an evening snowshoe hike to a high-altitude chalet with traditional decor. Then treat your taste buds to a meal far from the resort's gastronomy, where you will discover local products in a new light. A warm, romantic atmosphere with soft lighting for an extraordinary evening. The added bonus? A comfortable ride back down the mountain.
