Welcome to the section for teachers

Here you’ll find all the information you need to organize a site visit, a nature activity, or support for outdoor education, or to learn how to participate in a specific program.

A nature education program open to everyone

The Natural Areas, Agropastoralism, and Forests Department of the Chamonix-Mont-Blanc Valley Community of Communes is available year-round to provide educational activities related to nature and the environment for schoolchildren.

These activities are free for preschool and elementary schools within the CCVCMB’s territory.
For middle schools, high schools, and schools outside the region, a fee of €120 per half-day and €220 per full day is charged for a group of approximately 25 students.

Activities Designed Together

Each project is designed in collaboration with the teacher to align with the students’ interests, their academic level, and educational objectives.

For any inquiries, our nature educators are here to help. Feel free to contact them to collaborate on planning a field trip, site visit, or educational project—from the initial idea through to its completion.

In addition to this philosophy, which aims to meet teachers’ needs as closely as possible, three specific programs are also offered in partnership with other regions or organizations:“ ” “Un Berger dans mon Ecole,” “J’aime ma Forêt,” and “Môm’en Nature.” For more information, please feel free to contact the nature educators.

Nature activities can take place anywhere within the territory of the Chamonix-Mont-Blanc Valley Community of Communes, as well as at our two interpretation centers, which serve as valuable educational resources that complement field experiences.

Two interpretive sites to enrich the experience

Maison du Lieutenant
