The walks are not strenuous and are perfect if you wish to explore the area and make stops to have great photos taken.

Photo-hiking in the Chamonix area can be arranged for larger groups. Contact us to make arrangements.

To get to Chamonix, most people fly into Geneva International Airport (GVA), one hour away. Once you arrive, there are several ways to reach your destination, including public transport. Looking to make the airport transfer hassle-free? Check out Mountain Drop-Offs—they provide door-to-door service in their comfy and spacious shuttles.
There are three walks for which you must have a personal car as the starting point of the walk is not near the train or main road. These include the Renaissance Walk, the Servoz Walk, and the Switzerland Walk – Finhaut and Giétroz. If you don’t have a personal car, your guide can arrange a taxi service that will bring you to the designated meeting point where your guide will meet you and the taxi can pick you up after the walk. For the most part the taxi service vehicles can carry up to 8 people.
In the event that the road for the Renaissance Walk, i.e. Coupeau, is closed due to snow (usually in early spring or late autumn), you’ll head to Charousse, a backup option, instead of Coupeau.
The other walks—the Tréléchamps Walk and the Chamonix Walk do not require personal cars. The Chamonix Walk will be in downtown neighborhoods. For the Tréléchamps Walk, the meeting point can be reached by a lovely little red shuttle train (free with their Carte d’hôte card).
Once you and your guide agree on the details of your itinerary, your guide will provide specific instructions on the meeting locations for each walk. The guide will choose the appropriate terrain dependent on conditions and the ability of the group.
