Chamonix is a rider’s paradise! At 1035 meters above sea level, this convivial ski resort is surrounded by beautiful, picturesque ski areas: try the Grands Montets, the domaine de Balme, Le Brévent and La Flégère, easily accessible from the centre of Chamonix, or else the Aiguille du Midi, where you can see the Mer de Glace, an impressive 40km-long glacier. In the summertime, Chamonix is a great place to hike, with 160 different itineraries for all levels. Brave students will set off to climb the Mont Blanc or the Haute Route, which connects Chamonix to Zermatt. For thrill-seekers, paragliding, mountain-biking, climbing, canyoning and much more are also on offer!
The language school offers an activities programme to give you a chance to explore the area, meet the other students and speak French in a relaxed setting. Sign up for the Chamonix Race, the visit of the Alpine museum, the trip to Annecy, the wine-tasting session, raclette dinner, French movie evenings or travel to Courmayeur via the Mont-Blanc tunnel.
