If you're anywhere near Chamonix you really need to go see the glacier!!!…read more We showed up to the train station early on a Friday morning with tickets for the first train up, it was a lovely ride up the mountain to the top. We took the gondola down to the glacier, walked the many steps down the hill and into the ice cave. The glacier was spectacular! The views from this entire area are breathtaking! On our way back up we stopped in for a quick breakfast at the little cafe and had some sandwiches and coffee, a bit overpriced but everything was tasty. This was another must-see highlight of our trip! I heard that it can get really crowded which is why we went first-thing and we definitely beat any crowds, it was very pleasant. Also, the stairs down to the glacier are pretty extensive and are outside so make sure you're wearing the right shoes and are dressed warm.

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!

The cable car will be crowded and very tight spots. The ride experience is one of the best we had overall. This is a must-see experience on the French alps. Plan ahead, and you will spend at least 3 to 4 hours. In late June, we saw beautiful snow mountains over the clouds and walked inside an ice cave . Now words to describe this beauty !!!
