Iconic cable car to 3,842m with views across the Mont Blanc massif, Italy and Switzerland. One of the great alpine experiences - weather dependent.

Always possible
🍷
Après-Ski & Local Food
Chamonix has a strong après scene from hot wine at mountain huts to proper restaurants. Savoyard cuisine - raclette, fondue, tartiflette - is the move.
Always possible
🚶
Valley Walking
