The tour guide was fantastic and his knowledge of the area was also fantastic as he grew up in Chamonix. The gondolas up to Aiguille du Midi and the views from up there are absolutely mind blowing. Then later on the train to Montenvers and Mer de Glacé was great. The glacier and the ice cave was another mind blowing experience. The whole day end to end was great.

This day trip was amazing. The meeting point was easy to find, the staff were helpful and divided us into the 3 coaches, then the journey to Chamonix was nice and scenic. Mont Blanc was quite busy, so our guide told us to go straight to the queue for the glass box once we got to the top. the queue was about 1 hr long, but if you want to have your photo in the glass box (with Mont Blanc peak behind you), then you have to just put up with the queue. luckily the scenery whilst in the queue is amazing! Bring a jumper/jacket for the top, it was very cold, even though the temperature on the ground was 30 degrees! cable car a bit scary but guide warned us about the bumps! then I had just enough time to zoom round the terraces before meeting guide again! mountain train lovely, ice cave beautiful (wear jumper!) then I had just enough time to zoom round Chamonix before we went home! It's an expensive trip but worth every penny. Scenery is just incredible 😲 ❤️

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.

We had a great day trip with key tours. Our guide was very informative and friendly. We visited Chamonix, took cable car ride up to the top and train down to the glacier. Pleasant bus ride and a bottle of water
