You can hike out of town in any direction. And be blown away by wonderful mountain vistas. Here I am just above town on a trail run.
The most famous “best hikes” in the region are:
• Chamonix to Zermatt – Walkers’ Haute Route <my trip report > ( top 10 ) • Tour of Mont Blanc (TMB – top 10 )
More best hikes in the Alps .
Best time to hike is late June to early October.
