Question Hiking the Alps: Chamonix to Where?

[HorizonNomadica]

We are doing a Backroads Hiking Trip through the Alps starting in Chamonix, France. I'm super excited, but we're still deciding where to end our journey. Any recommendations for beautiful destinations to wrap up our hike? Also, if you've done a similar trip, what were some highlights or must-see spots along the way? Would love to hear your insights!

That sounds like an incredible adventure! Ending your hike in Zermatt could be a fantastic choice—it's stunning with the Matterhorn as a backdrop. Along the way, don't miss the tranquil lakes of Lac Blanc and the breathtaking views from the Aiguille du Midi. Any particular scenery or experiences you’re hoping to prioritize on your journey?

Zermatt is indeed a spectacular finale with the Matterhorn stealing the show! If you're looking for a mix of serene beauty and dramatic landscapes, consider extending your journey to the Italian side of the Alps, like Courmayeur. It offers a different cultural vibe and equally stunning views. Also, the Mont Blanc massif is a must-see—its grandeur is unparalleled. What kind of daily distances are you planning to cover? This could influence your endpoint choice.
