Mount Blanc is not always visible as there are often clouds. It is the E.U. highest mountain towering above at 4,810m. Of course, this is the main attraction while in Chamonix. But there are other places in the region where you can see it as well. However, being in Chamonix valley and having a full view of Mont Blanc massif... More

I recently travelled to Italy from France via the Mont Blanc tunnel. The scenery was amazing and I would very much like to spend more time exploring this region one day. However, it was the cost of the use of the tunnel that was truly amazing!! Nothing was indicated on the road leading to the tunnel entrance. Upon arriving at... More

fantastic views of Mont Blanc from the top of the Aiguille De Midi cable car. Really amazing. Great to go up after a good day's skiing. Lift closes at 4:30pm so you have to get up before in order to have a short walk about and catch the views. We didn't stay too long but there is a cafe if... More

Spent a day in Chamonix and Mont Blanc. Charming village with canals and views of the mountains all around. Took the cable car up Mont Blanc which was a great experience. So refreshing to be up so high and look out. Very cold up there, obviously, but there is a cafeteria to warm up in.

Incredible considering this is the tallest point in Europe. A breathtaking experience! Views all over the Alps including Switzerland and Italy.

Located at the base of a number of differing ski slopes this town provided the most wonderful of settings. We were in a large group of 10 and the choice of restaurants, bars and shops were very diverse and the town had a real buzz to it. It had a real up-market feel to it but the bars and clubs... More

Don't miss the chance to get up close in Chamonix. We were so lucky to have beautiful sunny weather so made the most of our photo opportunities of Mont Blanc.

I thought that this attraction was meant to be the summit of Mont Blanc, 4810 masl, and not the Aiguille du Midi, Chamonix or any other location in the neighbourhood of Mont Blanc. The majority of the reviews here have very little to do with the actual summit of the Mont Blanc. Anyway, here comes a review of the summit... More
