Had a horrible experience. The trip should have been cancelled as we arrived and we’re told it was too windy to do any of the cable car activities . So much time was wasted hanging around waiting on information and we got terrible information about pick up locations etc. the time table was completely wrong and we got no free time in Chamonix and spent most of our time on a bus. Worst £400 ever spent

A short walk to the Geneva Bus Station for our 8.30am departure and we were off on our memorable trip across the border into France which took just over the hour. As expected the scenery at points was breathtaking with huge snow topped mountains looming over you. On arrival in Chamonix you are a short walk from the cable car which will take you up Aiguille du Midi and the breathtaking (literally when you get up there, so take it steady) views across the Western Alps including Mont Blanc from 3842metres up. This alone would have been enough but you then get to go on a quaint train upto the Mer De Glace and visit the Ice Cave, there are a lot of steps, remember you need to come back up them so need to be at a decent level of fitness, but it is worth the effort. Then back to Chamonix and some free time before returning back to Geneva. David our tour guide let us do our own thing but was about when he was needed, just how it should be. One of the best trips we have been on, truly fantastic.
