Chamonix with children
A short stroll (approx. 35 minutes) along the footpath behind the golf course, you will find Paradis des Praz. A wonderful nature playground, where kids can swim in the shallow river. There are swings, play huts, pony rides, a restaurant, zip line and balance ropes. Lots of fun for children!
