Chamonix Mont-Blanc and its surroundings

The Aiguille du Midi: towering up 3,777 m high and home to 360-degree views across all the French, Swiss and Italian Alps. Take a lift up to 3,842 m where the terrace at its peak awaits, and soak up the spell-binding views of the Mont Blanc. Thrill-seekers will get a kick out of the site’s newest attraction: over 1,000 m of void beneath your feet from within a glass box.

The ice sea: tour of the ice cave, the ice sea-themed Glaciorium du Montenvers (how it was formed, how it is set to evolve, etc.).

The Lac Blanc: a must-see site in the Vallée de Chamonix, where hikers are treated to spectacular vistas taking in the mountain peaks.

The waterfalls: Cascade de Berard, Cascade du Dard and the Gorges de la Diosaz, enjoy breath-taking beauty spots and stop off to cool down along your summer walks.
