Full description
Board a bus from Geneva to Chamonix-Mont-Blanc, and in 90 minutes, arrive at this Alpine village to discover the beauty of the mountains. In the morning, ride up the cable car to the summit. At more than 3842 meters, be impressed by the Majestic Mont-Blanc and all the peaks around you. If you are feeling adventurous, take a breathtaking step into the void. Three glass walls, the glass floor, and glass ceiling panels give you a unique experience enhanced by 1000 meters of free air directly under your feet, in total safety! Look around and admire the highest peaks in Western Europe, and view the Bossons Glacier, with the greatest descent in Europe, from a dramatic perspective.  Snap some incredible landscapes from one of the numerous panoramic terraces, or warm your hands around a coffee from the shop. Head back to the village, and take a freetime to put your sensations back together before you take the Mountain train Montenvers to discover the Ice Sea. This is the largest glacier of France, featured in Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. If it's open ( not garanteed) Take the steps down to visit the Ice Caves. Enjoy the museum and the view from the panoramic terrace, before you head back.

My wife and I had a great day on this tour. Everything was well explained on the coach en route to the Mountain and how the day was structured. Caroline was an excellent tour guide who delivered information clearly with a sprinkling of good humour too. Coach was excellent and driven superbly. Views on cable cars and trains are out of this world and a must-see! If you're thinking about doing this, don't delay and get it booked, you won't regret it.

We very much enjoyed the trip to Chamonix. Our guide David was friendly and helpful. My only issue was that the tour tries to pack in maybe more that what’s realistic. In our case, the ice caves were closed because it was too hot that day (which we knew was likely when we booked), but even with that cancellation we barely had time to explore Chamonix. The trip up the gondola up to the top was breathtaking.

This has been the most magical experience I have had. Chamonix Mont Blanc is a Must do if you ever visit Switzerland. The Guide was well informed, friendly and fun. This place feels like you are in a fairy tale. This experience has been the most amazing for me. Thank you for providing this experience.
