La Mythique Mer De Glace
From Chamonix centre, you can choose to catch a ride in one of the cute, red Glacier trains and go to Montenvers, to wonder the breathtaking view of the world famous Mere de Glace glacier! Mer de Glace is a compound valley glacier, gaining ice from snowfields that cover the heights directly north of Mont Blanc at an altitude of around 4,000 metres. It flows for a total distance of 12 kilometres, covering an area of 32 square kilometres. The iconic red Montenvers train runs on a rack and pinion (or cog) railway just over 5 kilometres in length (3.2 miles) and snakes its way up from Chamonix to the top station at 1,913 metres. The train was first put into use in 1908 when the line stopped at Caillet, and then fully opened all the way to the top in 1909.

5.00We had a wonderful day with Gabor. He picked us up at our hotel in a spacious minivan and we drove to Mont Blanc. He did not accompany us in the cable cars to Aiguille Du Midi, but we had time to explore at the top. Unbelievable views all around. After we came back down, we walked into Chamonix for lunch then took the cogwheel train to the Mer de Glace glacier. Hiking down & exploring the ice cave was another wild experience. Gabor was a kind and informative guide and the day was well-planned & paced. People should know this does not include lift or train tickets, complain accordingly. Overall, it was a day very well spent.
Memorable trip. A+++

5.00We missed the ice cave by one day & the gondola to top was closed due to wind. Yet, our guide, Gabor, was wonderful as we toured the area. Rode the train up to the caves and were able to see the glacier. The views were breathtaking!
