Itinerary
In 1924 Chamonix hosted the first Winter Olympic Games. Skiing was introduced in Chamonix at the end of the 19th century by Dr Payot. Nowadays, Chamonix is the most famous moutain village and Mont Blanc the highest mount of Europe.
In the morning, ride the Aiguille du Midi cable car, the highest in Europe, climb more than 2700m and enjoy the unique journey between the ground and the sky with year-round snow! On a clear day, you may even see Mattherhorn, the famous Swiss peak and icon of Switzerland – it’s even found on packages of delicious Toblerone chocolate. Thanks to your early departure, you can be the first one on the peak to enjoy The unique adventure: "Step into the Void" BREATHTAKING! A technological prowess with more than a thousand meters of emptyness beneath your feet inside this glass box.
For lunch, be free to eat on the top of the mountain or try the delicacies of the Savoy region. In the afternoon, board the little red cogwheel train to Glacier Mer de Glace.
It takes about twenty minutes to climb the 1,000 metres up to the Montenvers-Mer de Glace attraction. The track climbs the mountainside running through the forest, tunnels cut through the rock and over viaducts. You enter the realm of the high mountains, and round the last bend you'll feel the magic : you've arrived at your destination at the foot of the famous Mer de Glace glacier, at an altitude of 1,913m
