Description

Discover the wonders of Chamonix, France, on a full-day guided adventure exploring its most iconic sights: the Aiguille du Midi and the legendary Mer de Glace. Led by a state-certified mountain guide, this immersive experience blends breathtaking views, captivating history, and glaciology expertise for an unforgettable day in the French Alps.

Begin your journey at the Aiguille du Midi cable car meeting point, where a thrilling ascent takes you to 3,800 meters above sea level. Marvel at panoramic views of the Mont Blanc massif, learn about the extraordinary engineering of the cable car, and watch mountaineers on their daring alpine expeditions. For the adventurous, "Step into the Void" offers exhilarating thrills high above the valley.

Depending on your preference, either enjoy a scenic mountain picnic at the Plan de l'Aiguille before hiking the North Balcony trail, or descend for free time and lunch in charming Chamonix. Both options feature insights from your expert guide, who shares stories, geological secrets, and the fascinating history of the region throughout the day.

In the afternoon, reach the Mer de Glace by the iconic Montenvers cogwheel train. At the glacier, your guide reveals the captivating science and history of the largest glacier in the Alps, from its formation to its discovery by 18th-century explorers. The adventure concludes with a scenic train ride back to the valley, rounding off a truly memorable alpine experience.

All tours include guidance from a certified mountain expert, cable car and train tickets, and a choice of hiking or city exploration. Meals and personal expenses are not included. Secure your spot for this incredible Chamonix adventure today—spaces fill quickly, so check availability and book now!
