Chamonix - Mont - Blanc 04.-11.07.2026.
Chamonix-Mont-Blanc is a charming town in southeastern France, located at the foot of Mont Blanc (4810m), the highest Alpine peak, on the triangle of France, Switzerland and Italy. Chamonix was discovered as a tourist destination by British explorers William Windham and Richard Pococke back in 1741, and in 1924 the first Winter Olympics were held in Chamonix. Today, Chamonix is a tourist mecca, both for skiers and for hikers and climbers. In addition to the highest Alpine peak, there is also the highest cable car in France (Aiguille du Midi, 3842m), the largest glacier in France (Mer de Glace), the highest high-rise railway in France (Tramway du Mont Blanc, 2372m), as well as many other attractions.

This station is the starting point for one of the trails to Mont Blanc. But we are not going to Mont Blanc, but only to Refuge Nid d’Aigle and the nearby gazebo. After that, we (on foot) return to the valley, to the village of Les Houches, from where we started with a cable car. In case of need, we can get down with another cable car that's halfway down.
