A must do if you are in Geneva!

Published on Jan, 2025

Mountain views are out of this world and feels so surreal! Pleasant coach ride to and from Chamonix - easy to locate the stop for the pickup, it is directly in front of the shop where you collect your tickets for the day. We were provided a map for the day to help find our bearings once we were been dropped off. Would recommend the mountain train and once you step off, you are within the mountains and the view is breath taking. The village itself is cute and has plenty of shops, restaurants and bar - lots of choice to help you pass the day. We went picked up at 10.30 in Geneva, the coach trip is around 1.5 hours and you are picked up at 18.30, returning to Geneva between 19.30 to 19.45 but the time goes by quicker than you imagine!

Incredible views!! Make the time for Aiguille du Midi!!

Published on Dec, 2023

My wife and I went on our own via cablecar up to top of Aiguille du Midi... It was an amazing few hours of looking down at all the mountains and watching off piste skiers as little specs below our vantage point... would not miss it...

Loved it so much. Highly...

Published on Oct, 2022

Loved it so much. Highly recommend. It is a must especially if you want to spend a day in a beautiful village and seethe Alpsj

Stunning

Published on Jan, 2020

Wonderful trip and stunning views. My only complaint would be that it would have been helpful to know that you don’t need much time to see what you need to see. We very well could have taken the same train back down that we came up on instead of waiting a full hour for the next. We were starving and the little cafe is just that...small and serves snack. Given you arrive around lunch time, especially with young children, it would have been ideal to get back on our train to go back into Chamonix for a proper lunch. Just a heads up for others in similar situations: get out take your pics and hop back on the train!

Very good trip

Published on Aug, 2019

This was a great trip and Neil was a really helpful guide. The bus drivers were also very friendly too. I loved the cable car experience and have never seen a view like it.
