🎄 Christmas in Chamonix, France 🇫🇷❄️⁠
⁠
Save this for your winter trip to the French Alps!⁠
⁠
And follow @thetravelsquadfamily for more unforgettable family trips, luxury stays + adventures around the world! 🌍🤍⁠
⁠
Think Chamonix is only for skiing? Not even close! Especially with kids, there is SO much to experience beyond the slopes. ⁠
Here are some of our favorites:⁠
⁠
🧊 Ride the Montenvers Train to Mer de Glace Take the scenic train to the glacier + famous ice cave. Be prepared for lots of stairs!⁠
⁠
🏔️ Take the Aiguille du Midi Cable Car Incredible panoramic views of Mont Blanc! The altitude makes this one better suited for older kids.⁠
⁠
🧖🏼‍♀️ Have a Spa Day Many hotels have beautiful spas, or spend a few hours at QC Terme.⁠
⁠
🛷 Go Sledding or Snow Tubing Perfect for some mountain fun without skis!⁠
⁠
🛍️ Explore Chamonix Village Wander the charming streets, browse the shops + soak up those snow-covered mountain views.⁠
⁠
🧀 Eat ALL the Fondue & Raclette This deserves its own activity. 😂 Nothing beats melted cheese after a day in the Alps.⁠
⁠
🐕 Visit a St. Bernard Kennel Meet these famous Alpine dogs—and maybe even some puppies!⁠
⁠
🪂 Try Paragliding For the adventurous! Imagine seeing the Alps from above. 😍⁠
⁠
❄️ Go Snowshoeing A beautiful way to explore the mountains without skiing.⁠
⁠
🎨 Visit a museum, cinema or art gallery Perfect for a slower day or bad weather.⁠
⁠
♥️ And don’t forget the Christmas magic! Twinkling streets, cozy restaurants + snow-covered mountains make Chamonix feel straight out of a Christmas movie. 🎄⁠
⁠
🇨🇭 BONUS: Add Montreux, Switzerland! It’s an easy addition to your Chamonix trip, and during the holidays, don’t miss the Montreux Christmas Market along Lake Geneva. 🎄⁠
⁠
Save this for Christmas in the Alps + follow @thetravelsquadfamily for more family bucket-list trips around the world! 🌍⁠
