Les Carroz in Summer

Les Carroz is not only a popular winter location but is absolutely spectacular in the summer - there is hiking, mountain biking, road biking, mountaineering, parapenting, rock climbing, via ferrate are amongst the favourites then there is also golf, leisure and water activities, sightseeing and sunbathing in the Lakes or swimming pools. Outside of this you can just sit down drink coffee and look at the views!

Ballooning

Why not try ballooning? Joe Roulet from the tourist office offers spectacular flights in Le Montgolfiere des Carroz. Joe's Montgolfiere is the symbol of Les Carroz and is one of the most renowned in France.

Climbing

Climbing in the Mont Blanc massif and the Grand Massif means high mountains, superb granite and miles of limestone cliffs. Crags are usually equipped. Mountain routes may be partially equipped with, at least, abseil points in place. Guide books are essential and can be purchased from shops in the town centre. Climbing walls are also very popular to start off with - there are some located in the valley so visit the tourist office for further information. If you want to go high, be careful, read a guide book properly, take the necessary precautions or hire a guide.

Golf

Golf in the Alps is popular with holiday makers who want to take in the mountain air while enjoying a leisurely round of 9-18 holes. Chamonix has an excellent 18 hole course and there are also courses at Evian and Verbier.

Hiking

The valley is beautiful and the hiking season can start as early as April in Les Carroz. You will need lightweight boots and shorts, waterproofs, sunglasses, plus skin and lip protection. Always have a drink at hand as well. Walks are well sign posted. In the valley you can do one day walks from the cable car stations and further afield two day plus walks in surrounding French areas, Italy and Switzerland.

Mountain Biking

There are great mountain bike trails in the Grand Massif and surrounding areas, for all levels. You can rent a bike from a store in Les Carroz. There are excursion trails on the valley floor as well as more difficult ones using the cable car systems to access them.

Mountaineering

There are lots of mountaineering routes to do in the summer from valley cragging to the ascent of Mont Blanc. You must be aware of mountain safety, if tackling anything very dangerous then hire a guide. Most shops in the town centre will have books covering the routes also visit the tourist office.

Parapenting

Parapenting is a very popular sport in Les Carroz due to the high mountains and great winds. There are many takeoff sites in Les Carroz.

Sports Centre

The new sports centre is conveniently situated 200m from our Alpage and Trappeurs apartments. In addition to the large heated pool, there is a child pool and paddling pool. Four slides/toboggans have an additional pool. In the complex are a bouncy castle, two trampolines and volleyball. There is a vast grassed area around for relaxing and picnics, with changing and shower facilities and a restaurant/bar. Archery, and indoor sports arena and multiple tennis courts are adjacent.
