    This was absolutely perfect! The view from the top of the mountain and in the ice cave were the highlights of our trip! Our guide Chris was awesome and had good recommendations and directions. If it is cloudy the pictures don’t turn out as good but you can’t predict the weather. Wish we had a little more time in Chamonix but otherwise a must do from Geneva!

    This is a must do day trip from Geneva. David was an excellent guide! He provided clear instructions with meeting times and locations. His information taught me a lot about the area. The views were amazing! We went through the clouds on the cable car up to Mont Blanc. The undercast was beautiful! I loved going into the ice caves. You have to go down a gondola and climb down about 200 steps to the entrance of the ice caves. Then climb back up to the gondola. It was well worth it.
