What to expect

Combine two unique experiences in one guided day trip: Visit the lovely Alpine village Chamonix at the foot of majestic Mont Blanc and enjoy a picturesque ride with a red mountain train to 'La Mer de Glace', the largest glacier of France.

Start your bus roundtrip from Geneva in the morning. Cross the Switzerland-France border with an informative guide, drive through the Arve Valley and marvel at the majesty of the European Alps during the 90 minutes ride. Explore one of the most famous mountain villages in the world. Wherever you look up in Chamonix, you will see the roof of Europe: 4810m (15781 ft) high Mont Blanc. Breathe in the fresh mountain air and stroll through charming little streets. Chamonix hosted the first Winter Olympics in 1924 and has become a capital of alpinism, freeride skiing, and ice climbing ever since.

Enjoy a train ride through the mountain landscape to Montenvers and see the largest glacier in France. A panoramic terrace will give you great views of the 'La Mer de Glace' (Ice Sea) glacier that is surrounded by the impressive summits of Les Drus, Les Grandes Jorasses, and Les Grands Charmoz. Enjoy the site at your own pace, while the guide will be waiting at the station.

Important information: You must bring a current valid passport, as you will cross the Franco-Swiss border. Visa whenever applicable
It can happen that the mountain train may not work due to weather or technical issues
