Theme: Climbing
Lots of different possibilities: hire a guide for one or more days, or have a basic training first. "Getting acclimatised before starting" is also here a golden rule.
Equipment: All info at the "Maison de la Montagne", just next to the Tourism Office.

Theme: Other
If you like extreme thrills and airtime, you gotta try this: a paragliding duo jump. Most of the parachutes take off at Planpraz (see my Brévent -tip). The lightweights (mostly kids) early in the morning and so on, ending with the the heavyweights (I guess there must be a max weight) around noon. The landing is on the Savoy field, a beginners ski slope at 5 minutes walking distance from the centre of the town. The price is about 90 euros/jump.

Theme: Rafting
Our kids enjoyed very much their rafting afternoon in the Arve. It was an excursion of about 2 hours down the valley and traversing the wild Arve river in town. First a short rafting course, followed by 45 minutes of action in the river, a hot shower and a transport back to Chamonix. Important: provide yourself with twice the amount of the price if you also like the dvd with 25 action photos!
Equipment: Equipment provided. Only need to bring a swim short and a towel.

A winter wonderland! Great photos and detail. Will see it only through this tour with you, so many thanks. | Nemorino Tue Aug 25, 2009 16:48 UTC
Me again, coming back to look at the updates that you have added to these tips since September 2007. This looks like a really nice place. No wonder you have been there six times! I think there is also a bakery called "Au Pain d'Antan" in Paris. | Greggor58 Sat Jul 25, 2009 14:29 UTC
