Whatever you decide to do in the bright sunshine of the mountain summer, we look forward to welcoming you at Chalet Chovettaz..
The charms of Les Contamines-Montjoie don’t fade when the snow eventually melts away. An alpine summer in the “Secret Valley” is special in its own way and the chalet is the perfect accommodation for your summer holiday.
In the village itself or nearby, you can take advantage of:
There are two outstanding examples of Baroque churches in the village – beautifully preserved and a must on your “To do” list.
To get a bird’s eye view of the area, try parapenting with qualified, attentive and safety-conscious instructors.
Les Contamines is also the starting point for guided high altitude adventures and mountaineering, rock-climbing, hiking using the excellent cable car network of the Alps, 28 sign-posted trails focusing on different aspects of mountain life and four-wheel driving.
The telecabines operate from July to September making the high mountains available to recreational walkers. Why not enjoy a delicious lunch in one of the rustic refuges then walk down the mountain and stop for a swim and refreshments at the mountain lake at L’Etape. Here you can hire pedaloes or just take a refreshing dip or continue down to the mountain beach.
Not to be missed is the Les Contamines-Montjoie Nature Reserve – 5500 hectares from altitudes of 1100 to 3890 metres. Experience the flora, fauna and water features of the mountains. Activities include exhibitions, moonlit guided walks, lectures and workshops.
For a unique feature in the Les Contamines-Montjoie summer calendar, consider the “choral camp” for all songbirds. Novice or professional, gospel, pop or sacred music enthusiast - spend 6 days in August with kindred spirits.
Kite flying and making are also amongst the other events on offer during the summer months.
