Day 3 - The Mont Blanc Express
Board the Mont Blanc Express for a journey through the Chamonix
Valley, on a line that dates back over a century. Sit back and
relax as you're whisked past an Alpine backdrop of dense forests,
azure mountain lakes and noble peaks on your way to
Chamonix-Mont-Blanc. You're free to explore here. Chamonix is a
classic Alpine resort with glorious mountain panoramas, the jewel
in the crown of which is Mont Blanc, the highest mountain in the
Alps. There are Baroque churches and idyllic chapels to explore,
and a charming main street filled with shops, restaurants and
cafés. You could find a spot to unwind and sample traditional Swiss
fare. Fondue or raclette are must-try dishes for cheese lovers, or
maybe opt for a crispy potato rösti, one of the tastiest Swiss
national dishes.
Please note, on some late season departures the Mont Blanc
Express is occasionally changed over to the Montenvers Mountain
Railway due to engineering works. This charming cogwheel train
takes you safely to the Montenvers station, an unforgettable
journey where you can marvel at the famous Mer de Glace.
