The Little Red Train, a charming cogwheel train, takes you up to Montenvers station at an altitude of 1913 meters. After 20 minutes, you'll be facing the Mer de Glace, a witness to climate change.

An iconic site, don't miss the legendary Aiguille du Midi aboard France's highest cable car, which leaves from Chamonix and takes you to an altitude of 3,842 meters.

Take to the skies for a helicopter first flight that will not only give you a thrill, but will also leave you with magical images engraved in your memory as you fly over the vastness of the Mont Blanc massif. Let yourself be tempted by a first flight in an aeroplane from the Megève altiport, and take to the skies to discover the glaciers and legendary peaks of the Mont Blanc Massif.
