8 exciting activities including dogsledding Try classic and skate cross-country skiing Chalet with hot tub, sauna and log fire
The Mont Blanc region justifiably lays claim to some of the most spectacular mountain scenery in the world, and is a stunning setting for our week of activities. Both Italy and Switzerland border the Chamonix Valley, making this a truly international trip. We are based for the week at the Chalet Savoy, a few minutes walk from the Prarion ski lift which accesses Les Houches world cup downhill ski fields and cross-country ski trails. From our comfortable chalet we enjoy a range of fun activities including snowshoe walking, a horse-sleigh ride, cross-country skiing in both classic and skating style, dogsledding, ice-skating, riding the Mont Blanc Express train and also visiting a St. Bernard dog kennels. There will be time to explore the town of Chamonix and there's a wide range of optional activities on your free day.
