Hi all -
I've been busy the last couple of years making more people (two, at last count) and haven't been on the site as often as I used to ... but now I've got an adventure planned and I'm looking for some advice! I'll be heading to the Alps for a couple of weeks this summer and I 'm looking for good hiking ideas. My wife and I will be carrying our 1 and 2 year old children, so we're looking for shorter hikes with amazing views and hopefully not a huge amount of elevation gain. We'd still love to get up high, so we were thinking of spending most of our time around Chamonix and Saas Fee to make use of their extensive cable car networks so we can skip a large portion of the elevation gain and make shorter excursions in hopes that the kids don't go into meltdown from hours in the pack. We're OK with moderate climbs ... our two year old daughter has made it up three fourteeners thus far, so we're not entirely averse to some elevation gain, just not too much suffering this go around. Anyone have any good suggestions for where to start? Thanks!
Howie
