Chamonix Mont Blanc Half Day

 

Lose yourself in the luscious landscapes high in the beautiful Alps as you spend a full day in and around Mont Blanc. As you make your way from valley to peak, prepare to be captivated by the rich natural bounty of a region full of splendours to behold.

Begin with an unforgettable 90 minute drive that takes you over the Switzerland-France border and through the picturesque Arve Valley. Gaze at the vivid greens of the valley and its perimeter of towering peaks. Reach the charming mountain town of Chamonix, situated at the base of majestic Mont Blanc, the highest peak in both the Alps and Western Europe.

At 4,800 meters, gaze upward at its impressive stature and its snow white cap.

Continue on to Aiguille du Midi, a rugged and rocky peak near Mont Blanc with year-round snow. Board a two-stage cable car, and take off for a 20 minute trip to the mountain’s summit. Marvel at the truly spectacular panoramic views of the Chamonix Valley below and the French, Swiss, and Italian Alps; an unrivalled visual delight! On a clear day, you may even see Mattherhorn, the famous Swiss peak and icon of Switzerland. Enjoy the amazing alpine views from the many terraces and balconies at the Aiguille du Midi summit. Watch skiers zooming down toward the glacier while you sip a cup of hot chocolate and enjoy a light snack.

Take in the magnificence of your surroundings one last time before making your descent and returning to Geneva. A day that pleases your senses with a relaxing journey through the idyllic scenery of the snowy alps is sure to be a remarkable experience filled with pleasant memories.
