7 of us are going to Chamonix in January/Feb
Most of us like to ski, but 2 of our group are slightly older and don't like "adventurous" activities.
Their ages are 55 and 70, what are sort of things could they do? Obviously it can't be too "thrill seeking".
Thanks

Get them up a cablecar/gondola on the first morning.
Make or break, they could love it or hate it!

My OH does not ski but loves the mountains and getting up the hill, she also loves gondolas in particular and will go up and down, and then up and down, for the scenery and experience and a coffee/wine/cake/G&T/crepe/chocolate chaude etc etc etc at the top.

Thanks for your advice, we're mainly going to Chamonix to ski, so I wasn't sure what other activities were available. Should be great.
