Full description

Chamonix sits at the foot of Mont Blanc, an hour and a half from Geneva. On this day trip the glass-roofed coach shows off the mountains on the drive in, and your guide explains the valley’s history as the birthplace of alpinism.

In Chamonix the Aiguille du Midi cable car lifts you to a terrace at about 3,842 m, facing the glaciers of the Mont Blanc massif. Lunch is included, followed by free time in town. High-altitude cable cars depend on the weather; if they cannot run, an alternative excursion is offered on the day.
