Welcome to the big Adventure.
Our Mission is to bring you the very best the Alps has to offer. We specialise in short and weekend breaks – biking, walking and adventure trips or any combination to suit you and your group. The success of a short break depends on getting the details right. With 20 years of experience we make sure you get the best travel and accommodation and that you make the very most of your time with us. Our ATOL and AITO bonding guarantee your financial security.
Mountain Biking - in the mountains.
The Chamonix valley has some of the best mountain biking in Europe. We will provide a bike host to show you the best routes. Using our vehicles and the ski lifts to gain some contours and climb up above the valley floor, take in the stunning views of Mont Blanc, Le Brevent and La Flegere and then point your bike downhill on an exhilarating ride back towards Chamonix town. Bike and helmet hire can be arranged as required.

Walking on the edge of space.
Nature reserves, flower meadows and high alpine pastures. All of these and more can be encompassed in a day’s walking in Chamonix. Walking need not involve lung busting climbs - the ski lifts are open in the summer and can quickly and easily take you up above the tree line and to the start of marked paths and routes. Hosted and self guided walks are available.

White Water
A fantastic opportunity to experience the exhilaration of whtewater. Our water based activities range from an intro to the excitement of rafting, fun on the river in inflatable kayaks right up to the full bore rafting experience. If you want to get hands on then try hydrospeed - with wetsuit, fins and float - this is anything but a gentle meander down the river! Combining the thrill of the vertical world with tumultuous waterfalls, wild and secret places, and a dose of nature - canyoning is the ultimate adventure.

Up in the air.
Realise the dream of flight - this is not the sanitized experience of modern jet travel! Paragliding is about as close as it gets to being able flap your arms and soar around the magnificent scenery of Chamonix. Flying tandem with very experienced pilots is, for many, the first steps into a sport that becomes an obsession. For a truly breathtaking ride, our Mt Blanc helicopter flights are unforgettable. Serene wonderment is the best way to describe seeing the Mont Blanc and other high alpine peaks from onboard a hot air balloon.

Nodeckchair at its most simplest
At nodeckchair we have no fixed packages and are bound by no fixed rules. As such the most simplest of our walking holidays consist of you choosing which day of the week to arrive, which day to depart and in-between doing as much walking as your heart’s content. A simple ‘no frills’ package would leave you in peace to explore the terrain at your own pace during the day. We would provide the airport transfers and accommodation. You tell us what you would like to do and we will set it up for you!
