Women-Only Hospitality Exchange in Chamonix

Solo travel

One of the most beautiful places I’ve seen! From the train ride in, you know its going to be amazing, seeing the mountains and crystal clear rivers. I was here in the off-season (September) so did not do any skiing, but I took the Téléphérique Aiguille du Midi (tram that takes you up the highest points of the Alps). It was around €80, and if you’re not afraid of heights, I 100% recommend this. You get amazing views, you can walk around and hike on some trails at super high points, they have little museum about all the people who did extreme climbing and sports there, and there’s a cafe. I found the people in this village very welcoming, you will want to learn some French if possible. And i felt safe even though it was not so busy. I stayed at Hotel de L’arve, it was not expensive and it was very cozy. I was able to get everywhere by walking (train station, attractions, restaurants)
