Hi there,
I've got an opportunity to be in Chamonix in late May next year with my family and we were wondering about what walking may be available. We are really keen to get up into the hills and hike to a refuge as an intro to Alpine walking with our kids (aged 8-14 and experienced walkers in Scotland, Snowdonia & the Lakes).
We have been advised that the higher routes wont be open until June but would like to make the most of the opportunity to get some walking and an overnight trip in.
Does anyone have a view or experience in walking from Chamonix around late May and know of any routes or refuges we can look at? as I said, we dont need to be getting up too high, its for fun not summits.
thanks
Barry
