Unpopular opinion: The French Alps are even better in summer than winter!☀️🏔️🇫🇷👇🏼
⁠
📍Chamonix, France⁠
⁠
Think towering alpine views, outdoor adventures, and easy day trips your kids will love.⁠
⁠
🏔️ Just one hour from Geneva Airport, this alpine valley is incredibly easy to reach.⁠
⁠
☀️ Head to Parc de Merlet for scenic hikes where kids can spot ibex, marmots, and other wildlife with Mont Blanc views all around.⁠
⁠
🚂 Take the charming train to La Langue du Glacier d’Argentière to see massive glaciers up close.⁠
⁠
🚠 Ride the télécabine to Le Brévent and pack a picnic while paragliders float across the valley sky 🪂⁠
⁠
🚗 Enjoy easy day trips under an hour to the storybook town of Annecy, famous for its turquoise lake and canals.⁠
⁠
🇨🇭 Cross into Switzerland for adventures like the Emosson Dam, only 20 km away, where fun cable cars and scenic trains make the journey part of the adventure. Bring a picnic!⁠
⁠
🏔️ For older kids, don’t miss iconic Chamonix experiences like the Aiguille du Midi cable car or visiting the Mer de Glace glacier (be ready for lots of steps!)⁠
⁠
🥐 One of our favorite traditions is wandering through town and visiting the Saturday farmers market for fresh fruit, cheeses, honey, and warm breads.⁠
⁠
Between hiking, mountain views, and incredible day trips, Chamonix is one of our favorite summer destinations for families. We’re heading back for our 9th trip this summer, since my husband grew up just across the border in Switzerland🇨🇭⁠
