Drinks & Nightlife
The best Irish bar in town. And not because it's the only real Irish bar!
It's in the middle of Chamonix Sud and a handy place for a drink before you get to town.

Bar'd Up
123 Rue des MoulinsCan't beat a great happy hour or 3!
Half price wings on a Monday and several beers made in house... what more do I need to say?!
Oh, they have great burgers and the salads aren't bad at all!

If Bard'up isn't your scene, there is no shortage of bars on this street. Don't like the first bar your in? Drink up and go next door. Repeat until you've found a bar you like or you're at the end of the road at 1am! Check out Munchies, Pizzeria des Moulins or Caphorn for dinner and Coolcats for snacks.

My favourite bakery. Incredible cakes, tarts, bread, pastries and sandwiches.
And if you happen to be stumbling past at about 3 or 4 am, ask nicely and they'll sell you whatever is fresh from the ovens through a side window!

Parks & Nature
This is a great place to relax with an unbelievable view of Mont Blanc.
There is a fantastic climbing wall for all levels and an acro park in the trees. It is 100% worth the challenge of getting to the end of the black run, step off the platform and hold onto nothing!

This beautiful little spot is at the back of the golf course after a gentle walk. Just like almost every other part of the valley, it has incredible views!
This is a great spot for small children to play in the forest, with donkey rides, a small pond to splash in and a restaurant. Just bring cash, last I checked the donkey doesn't have a card machine!

Entertainment & Activities
Climb through the trees, fly along zip lines, swing into rope nets and step of the final platform and hope for the best!

Once upon a time, Chamonix was the best ice hockey team in France. Then the 70's ended and sadly so did the seemingly endless flow of trophies.
That said, ice hockey is always great to watch with a beer or two!
We are Chamonix!!!

Meet Sean Potts. He's a fantastic tandem paraglider pilot and great with kids.
He took my 5 year old neice flying and she absolutely loved it. And if the child comes back with a strange story about chasing a balloon through the sky, it definitely happened!
