Legendary

Aiguille du Midi, Les Drus, Aiguille Verte… Climbers can whip out their binoculars and admire these famous mountains from the comfort of their seat at a table outside a café in the town centre.

But this fabulous mountain is also easy to get to: in 20 minutes, the Aiguille du Midi cable car will take you to an altitude of almost 3,842 metres. This unmissable location has a panoramic terrace and its now-famous “Pas dans le vide” transparent balcony.  Adrenaline rush guaranteed!

Chamonix also has the Mont Blanc tram, the oldest and highest mountain rack-railway train in France, and the Montenvers rail line to the famous Mer de Glace.
There are so many tourist sites to discover on a day-trip during your stay in Monts du Genevois.
