October half term in Chamonix

Autumn walking in the Chamonix valley

The larches turn gold through October and the lower trails are at their best, with clear air and the first snow on the tops. The riverside paths along the Arve are flat and easy with children, and the forest walks below the Aiguilles are short enough for small legs.
