#2024TravelReview If you want to see the highest peak in the Alps, #Mont Blanc, the best way is to stay overnight in #Chamonix on the border of France, Italy and Switzerland, and take the cable car to the top of Aiguille du Midi the next morning. It only takes 20 minutes and you can see the spectacular Mont Blanc up close. Chamonix has a very advantageous geographical location. It is located in the southeast of France, close to Switzerland and Italy. It can be reached in about 20 minutes by car, so it has become a popular tourist destination. In addition to taking the cable car to admire the Mont Blanc, the most famous thing is the outlet shopping, especially the mountaineering related equipment and clothes. Those extremely expensive mountaineering brands are incredibly cheap here! The first Winter Olympics was held in Chamonix, making it a well-known ski paradise in Europe. It also has the highest Aiguille du Midi cable car in Europe, so you have to visit it no matter what. #Swiss Places #Swiss Travel #Chamonix #Aiguille du Midi #Mont Blanc #Alps

# cable car # 100 ways to travel The roof of Europe, the #Alps, spans several countries, including Switzerland, Austria, Italy, and France. This free trip to Switzerland is focused on the highest peak in Europe, #Mont Blanc, which is 4,810 meters above sea level. You need to take the Aiguille du Midi cable car from #Chamonix in France. It only takes 20 minutes to go up the mountain, but the round-trip ticket costs €75, which is really expensive. You need to take two sections of cable cars to go up to Nanjing. Both sections are large cable cars that can accommodate many people. Although the climbing slope is high, it is very stable and safe when traveling. After leaving the station, take the elevator to the top of Aiguille du Midi. There is a viewing platform and a 360-degree transparent glass curtain, which are good places to take pictures of Mont Blanc. Although traveling to Switzerland is expensive, it was still very moving to see the snow-covered Alps with my own eyes! However, it is not advisable to stay in high mountains for too long, as altitude sickness and other uncomfortable symptoms may occur. It is better to go down to the outlets early to relax and relax. #SwitzerlandTravel #Mont Blanc #Chamonix #Aiguille du Midi #Cable Car #100 ways to travel

Chamonix is a very popular ski resort among the French and those abroad all throughout the year. As host of the first Winter Olympics in 1924, Chamonix will always have a place in the history books. Its main attractions are Mont-Blanc (Western Europe's tallest mountain) and the many ski areas that face the Chamonix Valley. The best way to arrive in Chamonix is to take the train directly to Chamonix Station, or fly to Lyon or Geneva

The highlight of the trip to Chamonix Mont Blanc, the 'Alps village' in southeastern France, is Aiguille d'Midi🤍💙 The moment when you take the world's highest cable car 🚠 up to the Aiguille d'Midi peak observatory, which is nearly 4,000m above sea level, and see Mont Blanc, the highest peak of the Alps, right before your eyes is something you'll never forget... .🗻🏔 When you think of the 'Alps', you usually think of Jungfrau in Switzerland, but 'Aiguille d'Midi', which is located higher than the Jungfrau observatory in Switzerland, is the place where you can see Mont Blanc the closest. The world's first Winter Olympics were held here. 🙊 The more you know, the more mysterious it becomes 💙 ▫️ Make sure to buy altitude sickness medicine at Incheon Airport and take it before boarding the cable car ▫️ Dress warmly because the temperature is below zero even in summer ▫️ Download the Chamonix app and check the weather before you go (The weather is very important‼️ - I recommend going early in the morning) ▫️ Take a mandatory certification shot at the glass observation deck📷 (Main photo) #France travel #Unique tourist attraction

Chamonix, the venue for the first Winter Olympics in 1924, is a commune in the Haute-Savoie department in the Auvergne-L'Alpes region in southeastern France. Chamonix is ​​located in the north of Mont Blanc, between Aiguille Rouge and the famous Aiguille du Midi. It is one of the oldest ski resorts in France. The cable car that takes you to Mont Blanc, the main peak of the Alps, rises to the Aiguille du Midi at an altitude of 3,842 meters, from where you can enter the cross-country ski track in Blanche. You can also take the cable car from Aiguille du Midi to the Italian side, where you can see Mont Blanc and the surrounding peaks from different angles. On sunny days with dark clouds, the city and surrounding areas of Chamonix are also excellent places to view dozens of peaks such as Mont Blanc and Aiguille du Midi, as well as several glaciers. #Overseas Travel #European Travel #Mountain #European Town #European Travel #Alps #Mont Blanc #Cable Car #Paragliding #Snow Mountain

The beauty of snow-capped mountains all year round is comparable to the Drifting Swallow-style Swiss mountain scenery. A holiday resort suitable for both quiet and active occasions. Higher quality restaurants than Paris or Lyon, France but cheaper. You can take the cable car to the top of Mont Blanc to admire the snow scenery of the Alps, ski, snowboard, paragliding, and take a small train to cross the white snowy border between Switzerland and Italy. Best time to travel: December to April #ski #france #chamonix #vocation #alps

#High Altitude Viewing #Overseas Travel #Star Writers Rush Rush Mont Blanc, located at the junction of France, Italy and Switzerland, is one of the peaks in the Alps, it is also the highest peak in Europe at the same time. From Geneva, Switzerland, passing through the Swiss-French border will give you a panoramic view of the mountains in this area. I will definitely go again if I have the chance.

It’s was a small town and heard this place pretty busy when winter come… yeah, Skiing⛷🏂 Here also one of the best places in for hiking and rock climbing .

Mont Blanc in France is a highly recommended travel attraction! It is situated on the border of France and Italy, and for this attraction, I would recommend staying in the small town of Chamonix, which would be the most convenient and quick way to get to Mont Blanc, and a B&B we stayed at before had a distant view of the peak! We watched Mont Blanc from the best spot, South Needle Peak, and it was so beautiful and magnificent! Definitely recommend to bookmark this travel destination! #mbaparadise #melissabellaalyssaparadise #montblanc #amazingview #besttravesldestination #europtravel #europe #europe trip #travel abroad #travel recommendation #photo #travel #three treasures #3kids #3kidsmama #3girls #hkmama #kidsactivity #blogger #bloggerhk #mama #coolest new year trip #where to play in spring #travel inspiration #sights photo shoot guide #coolest travel experience #where to go in December #good places for parents and children

Cheers to the most incredible glacial views of the Mont Blanc, in Chamonix France. Who would you hike here with?

Night up high

Lac blanc. If you are lucky enough, you will definitely see ibex when summiting Lac Blanc. The same goes for descending; you may bump into them. Advice, take a quick photo and video do not stay around for too long. Plus watch them from a far as they are still wild animals. Glad that i had decided to tour lac blanc. #travel #Ibex #chamonix #LacBlanc #montblanc #mountain

geneva to chamonix just a 1.5hr bus ride away. you will experience the french alps. it was a life time experience. will loved to experience the wonder of france. sadly i dont have even time to explore switzerland. but it will be on my bucket list. anyway, if you ever travel to geneva, just book a bus ride to chamonix just to experience it with your own bare eyes. see ya europe

I tried paragliding in Chamonix. I booked the reservation site the day before, looking at the weather. The price was about 260,000 won, and I paid 30 euros for the photo and video shooting. Originally, paragliding was done at the Verban Observatory, but the cable car to the Verban Observatory was closed, so I did paragliding at Plandimmie, or Aiguille Midi Transfer Station. There was a separate paragliding area. I think it was maintained because the cable car is closed seasonally. I glided for about 30 minutes. The teacher said that I was light, so I flew for about 5 minutes longer. I also paraglided in Interlaken, but paragliding in Chamonix was better. Interlaken has a lake view, but Chamonix has a mountain view that is no joke. The paragliding landing area is right next to QC terme. The landing pad is far from the city center, so you have to walk a bit, but if you walk along the river that runs through Chamonix, you can quickly arrive at the hotel where I am staying. In fact, paragliding was not a planned trip. When I arrived in Chamonix, many people were paragliding, so I hurriedly made a reservation after seeing them. Fortunately, there was one spot left, so I was able to experience paragliding in Chamonix. This is one of the places you must visit when you come to Chamonix. It is Mer de Glace. Unlike other observatories, you can go there via a mountain train, so it is more leisurely and you can climb up to the observatory through nature. If you take the mountain train, always sit on the left. The view in that direction is really great. The Mer de Glace observatory is where the glacier used to be. In the past, the glacier was high, but now due to global warming, the glacier has almost melted, so it is difficult to see the glacier with the naked eye unless you get close. Of course, you can take a cable car that goes up to the ice cave, but I do not recommend it. Because everything looks great from afar After coming down from the Mer de Glace observatory, I ate fondue. There are several fondue restaurants in Chamonix, but to be honest, they are all the same. Just go to a place that is a little more friendly and cheap. It was my first time eating fondue, and the meat was very salty. The bread and potatoes tasted really good with the cheese. Chamonix is ​​a really small town. If the weather had been clear, I think I would have gone to both Montanvers and Aiguille-d'Emidi in one day. However, the weather was cloudy, so I divided my trip into one day for Montanvers and one day for Aiguille-d'Emidi. I think that dividing your schedule like this is good for your physical strength. Aiguille-d'Emidi is a higher altitude area than I thought, so altitude sickness is strong, and you won't be able to recover for a while after coming down. If you pay attention to this when planning your schedule, I think your Chamonix trip will be even more wonderful. Have a fun trip to Chamonix :) #European travel

Views from the top of Lac Blanc with views of Mont Blanc. The climb from Refuge de La Flegere is the most picturesque that me and my girlfriend had ever done. We were stopping every 5 minutes to look back and marvel at the view. Highly recommend to take enough water and go there on a sunny day. :) 📍Address: Chamonix, FR 🏨 Stayed in: Pointe Isabelle 💰Average Price per Person: €100/person per day will suffice for most activities

#AbsolutelyFreeTrip Chamonix, overlooking Mont Blanc, the queen of the Alps, is a holy place for outdoor enthusiasts, including mountain climbing, hiking, and skiing 🏔️ The view from the Aiguille du Midi observation deck, at an altitude of 3,842m, is truly a "world above the clouds."

About 6 hours from Paris by TGV + bus. Access is good 🚌 🌟Travel Tips: ・The best time to visit Aiguille du Midi is early in the morning!

Even in summer, the observation deck can get below freezing🧤 - Many hiking trails are suitable for beginners. You can rent equipment on site! Chamonix is ​​a place where you can feel the greatness of nature and your own smallness. Whether you go alone or with someone, a heart-shaking trip awaits✨ #DomesticTravel #CoupleTrip #SoloTrip #AbsolutelyFreeTrip #Chamonix #MontBlanc #AlpsTrip #BeautifulSights #OutdoorTrip

QC Terme Spa is a must-visit spot when you come to Chamonix. We visited it to celebrate a birthday and took advantage of a special offer where two people could enter for the price of one. If your birthday was within the last seven days, you can enjoy this deal too—just remember to bring your passport for verification and save on costs. QC Terme has branches all across Europe, but the Chamonix location is the most famous. The reason becomes clear as soon as you see the outdoor scenery. The breathtaking Mont Blanc view makes this branch stand out as the top choice among all QC Terme locations. Inside the spa, you'll notice many Korean visitors. A common question is whether wearing rash guards is allowed, and the answer is yes. I personally asked the front desk, and they confirmed that rash guards are perfectly fine. It's puzzling where the rumor about rash guards being prohibited originated. The spa offers more than just outdoor facilities; there are various indoor spa options as well. Although I couldn't take photos due to the presence of other guests, there are features like waterfall spas and foot baths. Additionally, the second floor has relaxation areas, including waterbeds that are so comfortable they might lull you to sleep. We entered the spa at 4 PM and were assigned a snack time at 5:45 PM. Each person received one glass of champagne, while bread and water were provided without limits. I found the pizza bread to be the tastiest, but it disappeared quickly, leaving only baguette-style bread. It's best to grab your favorite items early. After filling our stomachs, we spent two more hours in the outdoor spa before checking out at 8 PM. On the way back to the hotel, the path was lined with streams, and the soothing sound of flowing water accompanied us. It felt like a healing experience for both the eyes and ears.

When you land at Geneva Airport, you have two options: head to Interlaken or Chamonix. Both cities are charming, but Chamonix is relatively more affordable, making it a better recommendation. Upon arriving in Chamonix, if the weather is clear, you can go up to the Aiguille du Midi observation deck to enjoy a view of Mont Blanc. Everyone knows that Mont Blanc is the highest mountain in Europe, right? Additionally, Chamonix boasts an impressive spa. QC TERME, which has several branches across Europe, is particularly famous for its Chamonix location with views of Mont Blanc. The memory of soaking in an outdoor bath while gazing at Mont Blanc is something you'll never forget.

Frozen Dreams in Chamonix – Aiguille du Midi & Market Mornings! Chamonix stole my heart with its charming downtown, perfect for cozy strolls and hot chocolate breaks. Taking the cable car up to Aiguille du Midi felt like stepping into a dream—panoramic views over Mont Blanc that I’ll never forget! Don’t miss the morning market—local cheeses, fresh bread, and handmade crafts make for a perfect start to the day. Travel tip: Book your Aiguille du Midi tickets in advance and dress in layers—it’s freezing up there, even in summer! #Chamonix #AiguilleDuMidi #FranceTravel #AlpsAdventure #MorningMarket #WinterWonderland #MountainEscape #ChamonixExperience

Walking cautiously towards the observation deck at the summit of Aiguille du Midi to gaze at Mont Blanc. Aiguille du Midi (elevation 3,842 meters) and Mont Blanc are neighbors, separated by only about eight kilometers. It is also the best spot to admire Mont Blanc. Aiguille du Midi is a peak in the French Alps, part of the Mont Blanc massif, with an elevation of 3,842 meters. The name of the peak translates literally to "Needle of Noon," referring to the fact that when viewed from Chamonix, the sun reaches the summit at noon. The cable car to the summit was built in 1955 and was the highest cable car in the world at the time. It remains the cable car with the greatest vertical distance in the world (from 1,035 meters to 3,842 meters). The journey from Chamonix to the summit of Aiguille du Midi, covering over 2,800 meters in elevation, takes only 20 minutes. Reaching the summit of Aiguille du Midi at an elevation of 3,842 meters is very easy. Simply take two consecutive large cable cars. The first segment takes you to the cable car station at Plan de l'Aiguille (elevation 2,317 meters) to acclimate to the altitude. Then, take the second cable car directly to the northern summit of Aiguille du Midi at an elevation of 3,777 meters. Finally, take an elevator to reach the observation deck at the summit (elevation 3,842 meters). The transparent observation platform on Aiguille du Midi (Mont Blanc du Tacul) is constructed from multiple panes of tempered glass and a metal frame, designed to withstand strong winds and high temperatures. It allows visitors to look down from nearly 4,000 meters above the ground. This observation platform offers a thrilling experience, as if walking on thin ice. It's quite exciting!

Chamonix, located in the Haute-Savoie region of the French Alps, is a picturesque mountain village and a world-renowned ski destination. Its geographical location is close to Switzerland and Italy. In the charming town of Chamonix, you can look up to see Mont Blanc, the highest peak in Europe. Strolling through the town feels like walking through a poetic landscape painting. The Arve River flows through the town, its milky-clear waters adding a sense of tranquility to the surroundings. Mont Blanc, standing at an altitude of 4,810 meters, is the highest peak in the European Alps. We chose to enjoy the dreamy scenery of Chamonix while waiting for tomorrow's cable car ride to Aiguille du Midi. From the summit of Aiguille du Midi at an altitude of 3,832 meters, you can gaze at the majestic Mont Blanc and admire its world-famous beauty.

After spending two days in Geneva, Switzerland, we decided to take a local coach to Chamonix-Mont-Blanc. The return journey cost around £20 per adult and took approximately an hour and a half. The coach conveniently drops you off in the heart of the Chamonix ski village, where you’re instantly surrounded by stunning alpine scenery. If booked in advance, you can take the gondola up to the summit of Mont Blanc. However, if tickets are sold out, an excellent alternative is the charming red train that climbs the mountainside, offering equally breathtaking views. The local restaurants are reasonably priced, and the food is fantastic—making it a day trip from Geneva that’s absolutely worth taking. #travel#thingstodo
