The summit of Mont Joly is the area's local peak and stands at 2525 metres. The Tramway du Mont Blanc, a rack and pinion railway takes you to the Nid d'Aigle. From here you can follow the Bionassay glacier back down to the valley or walk up to the Tête Rousse refuge which lies at over 3000 metres.
For a more casual walk, take a trip to Chamonix, from here take the cable car to the Aiguille du Midi at 3842 metres and enjoy the views over the Chamonix Valley. On the descent get off at the mid station and follow the Grand Balcon Nord down to the ice caves of the Mer de Glace. From here you can walk or take the Montenvers railway back into Chamonix and enjoy a beer at one of its many lively bars.
If it is mountain biking you enjoy, the area provides a fantastic opportunity to ride the Diamant Vert (Green Diamond circuit). The circuit offers 90km of marked trails with 5380 metres of downhill.
