    Trying to take a Time Machine back to 2016 on a trip my wife and I took around France, Switzerland, Italy, and the UK to bring back some reviews of our favorite spots. This is a once in a lifetime place to visit that I cannot recommend enough. Although I am not the greatest when it comes to heights, this was an incredible experience. Take the gondola up the mountain to 12,602 ft above sea level for the most epic, jaw dropping views you will never forget. Take a chance and stand over a glass bottom looking down thousands of feet. Breathe in the crisp, cold, mountain air are you get panoramic views of the mountains and valley below. If you ever find yourself in Chamonix, do NOT miss this opportunity. The lift up the hill can be a little pricey, (if I recall correctly, it was around 45 euro/person) but it is definitely worth it! Check out some images from our experience and visit if you can!

    I don't often review tourist venues, but in Chamonix, one must go up to Aiguille du Midi. This was my second time in Chamonix and my second time up Aiguille du Midi. The views from the top are simply amazing and you can choose to hike from the top (if certified...and have the proper gear), or do a more casual hike (no cert. necessary) from the transfer point about halfway up the mountain. Regardless, one should bring along winter gear as it is quite cold regardless of the season. This time up a fleece, cap and hiking shoes were sufficient and I brought along a proper ski cap and gloves for casual hiking. Of utmost importance is to ascend on a clear morning, so definitely important to check the weather. Also recommended is to go early! If you don't have reservations then you'll need to buy a ticket at the ticket booth which opens at 6 am. The first car up the mountain is at 6:30 and after 9:00 it can be a zoo with the all the tour groups. Regardless, it's definitely worth the wait!

    Spectacular visit and watching all the trekkers get ready for all kinds of expeditions. Enjoy this magnificent mountain. Tons of hikes and walks to add to this trip up to the top of the world.

    The Best place I have ever been. On the way up in the cable car my ears started popping due to the altitude shift. The view from the top is indescibably awesome. What a rush from standing looking out over the pyrenees with the cloud stretched out below you. I went during the summer and it was so green! Go There! Go There! Go There! The disapointing thing was the observatory tour which was basically boards stuck on the wall in only french language, except one on thunder in English. The film is worth watching as it has footage from 1920's showing how this place came to be there. It's unbelievable that the french government were going to close it in 1998.

    Be prepared to wait in line for a few hours!!!

    Really great alpine mountain views. The cable car to the top was EUR42.50, and worth the trip.

    The cable car can be a bit pricey and you may need to wait in line for the next available tram.

    Want to step back into medieval times? Then definitely check out the Château de La Bâtiaz. This…read moreis a 13th Century medieval castle built as a fortress, not a residence, in order to protect the neighboring area. No fancy royal balls were thrown here, the only thing thrown here most likely were large objects from a catapult. From Martigny, you need to walk across the river, out of town, and up into the cliffs. It's a short trek, but worth it. Check out the website for information on visiting times. We went during the off season, but were lucky to catch a demonstration of one of the many catapults they have on display in the courtyard as you enter the castle. There is supposed to be a display of torture devices, and while there were a few, I think that either it was shut down for the season, as we went through the turn style without having to pay, or, it was under renovation. We climbed up the tower (which it appears you typically have to pay for, but for some reason there was no ability to pay - you just walked up at the time), and from the top of the tower is a great view of the region. Also, one of the special surprises was that there is a medieval tavern on site. The food was really good! They also appear to put on shows at the castle during the open season. I would definitely go back.

    Very original and good medieval food and service :)read more
