2 PAGE 2 Introduction France's Chamonix Valley, with its spectacular backdrop of Mont Blanc, Europe's highest mountain, is the perfect setting for a family adventure holiday. Based at our comfortable chalet in the village of Argentiere, this superb activity holiday will ensure that your family gets the most out of their week in the Alps. This holiday is designed to involve the whole family, with a fun packed itinerary and the option to finish off the evening with a soak in the hot tub! Adapting the itinerary as necessary, the local guide will escort you on the activities and choose scenic day hikes along famous Alpine trails close to the border with both Switzerland and Italy. Activities offered include introductory canyoning, whitewater rafting or hydrospeed' on the River Arve, as well as the exciting high ropes course at the Chamonix Adventure Park. You will also be able to ride Europe's highest cable-car to the breathtaking viewpoint of the Aiguille du Midi, take the Mont Blanc Express train to Vallorcine and stay overnight in a mountain hut. Also available locally are swimming, ice-skating, biking and the summer 'luge'. This is an action-packed week of fun and adventure at the heart of the French Alps. If you are looking for a two-week holiday then you can combine this holiday with our Family Tour du Mont Blanc Walking Week Holiday, a mini-trek on this classic circuit. Is this holiday for you? Suitable for children from 8 years old With our comfortable chalet base and a variety of included activities, this itinerary should appeal to all families with active children. Our four walking days include cable cars to the top of the mountains and around 4-6 hrs of walking and up to 600m of ascent and descent. We have optional rafting, hydrospeeding, canyoning, an adventure tree tops course and rock climbing. There is also the option of taking the cable car up to the Aiguille du Midi to 3842m. Also included in this exciting holiday is a walk to the Miage refuge where we overnight, meaning we need to carry our overnight things (sheet sleeping bags and teddy bear) in our backpacks. The walks are on good and wellmarked trails and they are suitable for children provided they are used to walking in the hills. The itinerary is suitable for children aged 8 and above, although children must be aged 12 to do the hydrospeed and canyoning (children under 12yrs will raft instead). Also note that height restrictions may apply for certain activities. The itinerary includes one night in a mountain hut, all other nights are at our chalet in Argentiere. Chamonix is served by several low-cost airlines flying into Geneva. You should allow approximately EUR200 per person if you wish to take part in all activities. Please see 'spending money' for activities break down. Holiday Itinerary Day 1: Meet at the group chalet in Argentiere in the Chamonix Valley. Meet at the group chalet in Argentiere just a few kilometres from Chamonix. The accommodation we use for the Chamonix Family Adventure is the Yeti Lodge chalets. The chalets have bright and airy rooms, south-facing sundecks with views to Mont Blanc, as well as a hot tub and sauna. On arrival you can relax and enjoy the stunning views of Mont Blanc. In the evening, you will meet your guide and have an informal chat about the week ahead. KE Land Only package services begin with dinner and overnight at Yeti Lodge.

3 PAGE 3 CHALET MEALS D Day 2: Walk to the Valley of the Bears and the Swiss border. Return by train. We begin our week with an easy acclimatisation walk. Starting from your accommodation we walk through the old town of Argentiere and through the neighbouring hamlets of Frasserands and Monroc to reach the Col des Montets at 1461m. Here we can visit the Nature Reserve des Aiguilles Rouges and discover rich and diverse flora and fauna of the region. We continue over this historic pass into Vallorcine, the valley of bears, all the bears have long since gone, but this beautiful valley provides opportunities for a variety of walks depending on your families experience. Walking on good trails we follow the 'Route des Diligences' and find a meadow stop for our picnic lunch before reaching our destination today, the Swiss frontier where there's an opportunity to buy Swiss chocolate! We complete our day by taking the historic Mont Blanc train back to France. CHALET DESCENT 330M ASCENT 250M TIME 3-4 HOURS WALKING HOURS DISTANCE 10KM MEALS BLD Day 3: Possibility to take the Aiguille du Midi cable 3800m, afternoon optional rafting or hydrospeeding. The Aiguille du Midi cable car leaves from the centre of Chamonix. It is a journey of two stages. The first brings visitors to the Plan de l'aiguille at 2300 metres. The second stage traverses the glacier of Les Pelerins, before rising up the North Face. Often in summer it is possible to spot climbers on their way up this face towards the summit of the Aiguille. From the top station at 3800 metres the view of the Alps is incredible, with several terraces from where visitors can take in the spectacular views of the Swiss, French and Italian Alps. On a clear day it is possible to see the Matterhorn, Monte Rosa and the Grand Combin. An elevator inside the rock rises the final 42 metres to the top terrace at 3842 metres. This is the closest you can get to Mount Blanc without climbing! We then descend to the mid station at Plan de l'aiguille and have our picnic lunch. After our final descent, we head off to get wet with a fun, fast and furious journey on white water along the River Arve through the centre of Chamonix itself. Choose from Rafting or 'Hydrospeed' which is swimming with a helmet, flippers and a block of plastic as a float! To raft you must be 8 years old, 1m 20 in height and for Hydrospeed at least 12 years old and 1m 50 in height and be able to swim. Both the cable car and the Hydrospeed/rafting are optional, and should be paid for locally. Dinner will be at a restaurant in Argentiere. CHALET MEALS BLD Day 4: Balcony walk from top of the Flegere to Plan Praz. Mont Blanc Panorama walk. This walk visits the Aiguilles Rouge Nature Reserve with a landscape of granite cliffs, wildlife, and often old snow left over from the winter. Our route begins at the Flégère cable car where we take advantage of a ride up to our trail at 1877m! This lovely balcony walk gives us impressive views of Mont Blanc and the Chamonix Valley a fantastic way to view Western Europe's largest mountain and surrounding peaks. After arriving at the next cable car, Plan Praz at 2000m, we will stop for our picnic lunch. From here the views of the glaciers and mountains are simply incredible and in fine weather we can watch the paragliders taking off and playing on the warm air! We then save our knees by taking the cable car down right into the heart of Chamonix where we can visit one of many ice cream shops! If time allows it's then possible to walk a little more along the by the glacial River Arve back towards your accommodation. Distance: 6km along the balcony walk, optional 6km from Chamonix to Argentiere.

4 PAGE 4 CHALET ASCENT 180M DISTANCE 6KM MEALS BLD DESCENT 100M TIME 4-6 HOURS WALKING HOURS Day 5: Possibility to go canyoning or rock climbing. Afternoon free for optional biking or luge or swimming. Canyoning involves wearing protective gear whilst descending steep gorges and river courses. This can involve abseiling over rocky steps, jumping and sliding over waterfalls and swimming through hidden pools. Professional guides will give you detailed instruction and equipment to allow you to enjoy the thrills of one of the region s best canyons. To take part in this activity (canyoning) you should be at least 9 years old, and weigh a minimum of 35kg and be able to swim well. It is reasonably exhilarating. For those who would prefer a drier experience, there is the option to challenge yourself with rock climbing. Join a professional guide at Chamonix's lakeside crag to learn the skills and techniques to scale a rock face and abseil by yourself back to terra firma! Both the canyoning and rock climbing are optional activities and payable locally. Lunch today is in one of the town s many cafes and the afternoon is then free for you to explore. You may wish to relax. Or, if you are in need of more adventure your guide will help you organise another activity - you can take the train up to the Mer de Glace Glacier and Ice Grotto, hire bikes, ride the Chamonix Luge, or check out the flumes at the swimming pool. All activities payable locally. CHALET MEALS BLD Day 6: Start of the 2 day trek on the Tour de Mont Blanc. Walk from Les Houches cable car to Miage Refuge (1560m). Today we need to be organised and pack our little rucksacks to start a 2-day walk along the world famous trail of the 'Tour du Mont Blanc'. We set off for our adventure from Les Houches and enjoy stunning views of the Chamonix Valley as we use the cable car to gain 900 metres of elevation. We cross under the Bionnassay Glacier and head up to the Col de Tricot (2120m), before making the steep descent of around 45mins to the Miage pastures and chalet/refuge. Here we have the afternoon to explore this hidden river valley, with its farm animals and views to the glacier. We spend the night in characterful accommodation hosted by the Orsett family, having dinner in the hut. Please note that this walk can be adapted to suit most fitness levels and age groups. Our accommodation will be in a non-segregated mixed dormitory. You will be required to bring with you a sheet sleeping bag (in your backpack with your overnight belongings), blankets are supplied. With the sound of cow bells and the fabulous views, staying in this high and remote mountain hut is an experience not to be missed!

Here, we have the option of walking up to the viewpoint summit of Truc for 360 degree views. We then have a gentle descend from the col to Le Truc (1720m) where there is a refuge at which we can have a coffee. We continue our descent through a forest of tall pines on a wide track to the small town of Les Contamines. We then walk a little further to the adventure park where we have our picnic lunch by the lakeside. Here, we can experience the high life travelling from tree to tree through the forest, using rope bridges, Tarzan swings, Tyrolean wire slides, rope ladders and cargo nets.
