Teens Ages 13-18
Teen activities in Chamonix for ages 13 to 18 offer the opportunity to enjoy sporting mountain experiences, develop new skills and discover new terrain, in both summer and winter.
Mountain activities for teenagers
The Cham Teens program offers a variety of day activities in the Chamonix Valley. Climbing, hiking, mountain biking, white-water activities and mountaineering are all part of the summer program, with active days adapted to the age and experience of participants.
In winter, snow opens up new terrain and opportunities to continue the adventure through activities adapted to the season. In both summer and winter, the aim remains the same: to help teenagers build confidence, progress and enjoy genuine mountain experiences.
Multi-pitch climbing courses for teens
For teens who want to take their climbing further, our multi-pitch courses provide the opportunity to move beyond single-pitch routes and discover a new side of the sport. Teenagers learn the skills needed to climb multi-pitch routes on the natural climbing areas around Chamonix.
Belaying, setting up belays, abseiling and managing the rope team are gradually introduced throughout the course. This approach helps teenagers develop their technical skills and confidence, while learning how to climb efficiently as a team. It is a natural next step for young climbers looking to take their climbing into the mountains.
Teen camps: from hiking to mountaineering
Our teen camps and trips offer a multi-day mountain experience with a genuine high-altitude objective. The Teen Summer Camp provides a progressive introduction to mountaineering, while our First 4000 programs take young participants towards objectives such as Gran Paradiso and the peaks of Monte Rosa.
Progression is at the heart of these trips. The first days of hiking allow teenagers to find their rhythm, acclimatise and gradually prepare for the final objective. They then move into high mountain terrain and learn essential mountaineering skills, before finishing their trip with a genuine mountaineering route or the ascent of a 4,000-metre peak.
