General information
In spring, the late afternoons witness the most beautiful songs of mountain forests. All birds unveil their finest melodies to mark their territory. The little mountain owls join in this symphony for our utmost pleasure.
In the old mountain forest, discreet species of owls reside. Embark on a journey to discover them with a mountain guide in the late afternoon. The ascent is done during the day, the descent at night. It's an opportunity to enjoy the evening colors on the mountains, the spring songs of the local birdlife, and perhaps, the love songs of the small feathered fairies of the mountains.
The Compagnie des Guides de Chamonix offers half-day hikes every Wednesday suitable for the whole family. Discover the local cultural heritage or learn to run in the mountains. Enjoy the unique atmosphere of the Chamonix Valley at the foot of Mont Blanc during a friendly outing with our specialist guides. To soak up even more of the unique atmosphere of the Chamonix Valley, please see our full day hike program.
