Hotel Mont-Blanc Chamonix

For more than 60 years, the most famous and one of the highest aiguille de Chamonix has been an essential world attraction. From the centre of Chamonix, a 20 minutes ride with the Aiguille du Midi cable car takes you to the gateway of High Mountain at a height of 3,842 m. From its height of 3,777m, the Aiguille du Midi and its laid-out terraces offer a 360° view of all the French, Swiss and Italian Alps. A lift brings you to the summit terrace at 3,842m, where you will have a clear view of Mont Blanc. LE PAS DANS LE VIDE ! Since December 21st 2013, the more fearless will take A STEP INTO THE VOID, onto a 2.50 m glass cage out over a 1000 m precipice. A product of modern architectural and technical prowess and a sensation packed experience.

La Mer de Glace or 'Sea of Ice' is one of the most well-known glaciers in the Alps. Its source begins at around 3700m altitude in the Midi basin and flows down in the direction of Chamonix to around 1500m altitude. Whether alone with the guide, together with family or friends, it is an ideal introduction for a first experience in a High Mountain environment.
