Chamonix winter day-tour

Published on Dec, 2024

A beautiful place to visit summer or winter. We did self-guided which was completely fine as the town was easy to navigate. A bit chaotic getting back on the return bus at the bus station as all buses show up at the same time for the full day tours.

Beautiful trip

Published on Dec, 2023

Although the weather wasn’t sunny, the cable cars were closed, our guide was very nice and we went up to mer de glace by train. Which was magical nonetheless. It was snowing and very cold. After returning to town Chamonix, the guide did a quick show of the main spots, food tips, and let us do and go wherever wanted. Indeed a very well, easy and enjoyable experience.

Brilliant trip to Chamonix but be aware this price is for transport only

Published on Dec, 2023

We had an amazing time on this trip to Chamonix but be aware this price is just for the transport and the train cost an additional £50 each. We went in December and the cable card was not in operation due to maintenance that happens for a few months of the year as well so be aware it might not be open and if it is will again cost extra. The mountain train was highly worth it though and the town of Chamonix is also very nice and much cheaper than Geneva.

Fun guides and a beautiful day

Published on Nov, 2023

Extremely nice guides and we liked having free time. The attractions being separate was confusing from the initial descriptions on the website. We still had a wonderful day thanks mostly to the two fun guides .

Great memories

Published on Nov, 2023

The journey to Chamonix was breathtaking and the tour operator was very nice and informative. The bus ride was pleasant and return. it was my 50th birthday celebrations and we were very happy
