Lueurs d'automne
You can run, roll or walk at your own pace, as the various trails evolve peacefully. In the forest, the atmosphere is pleasant, and the light streaming through the branches invites us to stop and enjoy a moment of reconnection with nature. It's the perfect time of year for photography!
Head for the Grand Balcon Sud (between La Flégère and Planpraz), and imagine capturing Mont-Blanc standing out above the multicolored forests, or the morning mist clinging to the Aiguilles de Chamonix. Whether you're a seasoned photographer or simply equipped with your smartphone, you'll achieve captivating results. Temperatures are ideal for outdoor activities.
Whether you're looking for a hike or just a walk in nature, autumn is the perfect time to rediscover Chamonix and its valley in a whole new light.
