Juniors
Kids activities and camps in Chamonix offer children and teenagers the opportunity to discover the mountains through age-appropriate adventures in the heart of the Mont Blanc massif, in both summer and winter.
Mountain activities for kids and teens
For over 20 years, the Compagnie des Guides de Chamonix has been offering activities specifically designed for children and teenagers. Supervised by mountain professionals, young participants discover the Mont Blanc massif through programs adapted to their age, experience and appetite for adventure.
Climbing, hiking, outdoor games and first experiences in the high mountains allow them to gradually explore new terrain. In both summer and winter, our activities combine discovery, learning and fun, with programs designed to help young people progress and enjoy their first mountain adventures.
Which activity should you choose for your child?
For younger children, the Mini Wolves program for ages 4–7 offers a fun introduction to the mountains. Through outdoor activities, children develop their coordination, confidence and curiosity while enjoying their first experiences in a mountain environment.
From ages 7 to 13, children enjoy real outdoor adventures and gradually discover new activities. Our teen activities offer more challenging experiences, with a progressive introduction to mountain skills, independence and safety.
Kids activities, courses and camps in Chamonix
Our programs come in different formats to suit the age of participants and the type of experience they are looking for. Activities and courses take place over one or several days, while camps and trips offer a multi-day mountain experience, with nights in mountain huts, tents or suitable accommodation.
These experiences help children and teenagers develop confidence, independence and team spirit while discovering the Alpine environment. Supervision, logistics and activities are carefully adapted to each age group, with a focus on safety, progression and enjoyment throughout their mountain experience.
