Panoramic Tour of Chamonix From Geneva with Aiguille du Midi Cable Car
What your day looks like
A 90 minutes drive by motor coach through the picturesque Arve Valley takes us from Geneva to Chamonix, at the foot of the remarkable and majestic Mont-Blanc, the highest peak of Europe (4807 m./15.771 ft). The Chamonix Mont Blanc Valley is a wonderful natural resource. Visit Aiguille du Midi and Mer de Glace during this amazing day. 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 mountain village, and Mont Blanc the highest mount in 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 Matterhorn, 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 emptiness 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 meters 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.
