    A fantastic walking tour
    We did the Tour du Mont Blanc highlights tour with Raw Travel, under the guidance of Rob Gale. Rob's knowledge of the mountains and the lodges was invaluable. Although the walking was at times challenging, the group felt well supported. All lodges were comfortable. A fantastic experience.

    Cable car to Aiguille du Midi
    Extraordinary experience! We took cable car from Chamonix to Aiguille du Midi. You can see all Chamonix area from the top and it feels like you are on the top of the world. All Alps are underneath you. The view is stunning. It was -10 degrees and I never felt that cold but definitely every second was worth it!

    Divine!
    Divine! That’s the word. Being up there at Aiguille du Midi and seeing this iconic mountain on beautiful day is breathtaking. One note: even in the summer on a temperature of 29C (84F) at the base, it will be cold up there and you need a jacket. If you don’t bring one be prepared to freeze.

    Absolutely amazing!
    Absolutely breathtaking. I went with my partner and was not really enthusiastic, but OMG, what an experience. I was in awe, to say the least! Very smooth day, workers helpful and friendly. Ice cave within glacier was just as amazing. Fantastic day get up early for sunrise will not disappoint.

Wow wow wow breathtaking scenery
Sep 2022 • Couples
On arrival and not having booked a short wait for a ticket , and following some previous reviews we booked the full panoramic view into Italy.
The whole trip from start to finish was superb,at each change point there is look out points with various facilities including toilets, restaurants and cafe. This trip is not Cheap but for us a once in a life time opportunity to see some breathtaking scenery .

Top of Europe
Oct 2022 • Friends
The propaganda 'Jungfra is top of Europe', but in the reality the highest peak of Europe is Mont Blanc. Approached Aiguille du midi (mont blanc view point) via cable car, so steep. A lot of activities and stunning view point of Alps.
Highlight called 'Step in to void'. It is glass cubical protuding out of the builind with breathtaking Alps Valleys. Highly recommend to visit in the morning to avoid long queue. May be the frist activity to do.

Needs improvement
Jul 2024 • Family
Very poorly organized and unfriendly to customers. We were five hours and a half up there. No employee gave us a return ticket or informed us that such a thing existed, we thought the QR code was enough. After 2.5 hours we wanted to go back down. The employee loudly prevented us from returning. He said we have to get a ticket. And so we had to stay up there for another 2 hours. Additional 1 hour due to storms. Everything stopped and the cable car stopped running. Towards the end it was very strenuous and tiring to stay up there and breathe for 5 hours and a half. The whole thing cost us 156 euros plus parking 8.60 euros. For such a price you would expect customer friendliness.
Communication and processes need to be improved.

Sexist, arrogant, and dangerous guide.
Aug 2021
I recently climbed Mont Blac and was extremely disappointed with Chamonix Mont Blanc Guides. My guide Beto was disrespectful, sexist, and just rude. He yelled at me everyday in front of large groups of people and spoke to me demeaningly. He said I was his first female client, I don't know if thats why he was so arrogant but it seemed like it. He told me " You know nothing" and I overheard him talking about me in Spanish. The worst part was that he told me I wouldn't make it to the summit. He apologized to the other climbers in my group and Chris said if I don't make it its my fault. A guide is suppose to be supportive and encouraging. He also rushed me over dangerous rocky part of the climb. When I told him I was stuck or couldn't reach the next rock he told me to just go and hurry up. The communication with Monica before I arrived was also poor. I sent an email complaining about my guide Beto and she still hasn't responded. Just don't use this company.

Wonderfull trip to Chamonix
Aug 2021
Hello Happy Travellers,
Hope everyone is safe and Happy. The date I have mentioned here it should be August,2020 (unfortunately I did not time to write up).

Here we go...We stayed in CHmonix for two 3 days as one day we went to top Aiguella De Middi (60euros p.p) another days we went to MardeGlass Glacier which was around 1hour journey with nice view.
Obviously we have choosed AirBNB as we cooked our Indian food form Breakfast and Dinner. There is a Indian restaurent Annapurna they serve nice food speally that malai paratha but yes ccostly indeed.
For everyone while going to Aiguille du midi the gondola will take u up on top within 20mins so be seated for 10-15 minutes to acclamatised or else you might find breating trouble. As this is 3842 meters. But once everything is sattled the view will just awstruck you. 2-3 hours is nice to be there have some coffee and came back to walk around the beautiful town.
There is a Thai food counter near by aiguille du midi stop the food is nice you can take away[for Indian travellers :)].

Our Stay was one tram stop after the aiguille du midi so we have a super view from our balcony and most of the AirBnB owner gives you free passes for tram. SO just check the tram timing for better reach to any where.

We wish to be there once more but may be next time I will try a small hike route from Chamonix. As we were there in Summer so weather was super indeed,

Happy to answer any question.

TMB is an epic adventure should be in your bucket list
Aug 2019 • Solo
All the reviews will not prepare you for the stunning trek TMB is. I signed up with UTracks in August 2019. Professional and superb arrangement.. While the altitude isn’t high like in Nepal I would rate this trek as intermediate level in terms of difficulty. Chamonix makes for a perfect base and I would recommend an extra day or two to soak in the vibe.....Enough said now let the pics do the talking...

Think twice before going to this tourist trap!
Aug 2023 • Family
75 Euros per person to go to the top of Mont Blanc. They lure you with this glass box attraction for guaranteed thrills. We were herded to wait in a line to board the enclosed lift. It was very crowed and exhausting to only have to exit the lift to enter multiple lifts up the massive mountain. The views were spectacular however the process to get to the top was exhausting. Once at the top you must gather in more lines and wait. The restaurant was reservations only, the snack bar was packed. We were given a reservation number to depart the mountain and that was another crowed line. We were literally trapped there. Once we got back to the bottom of Mont Blanc we were exited through a crowed gift shop. We could not wait to get away from the biggest Tourist TRAP we have ever experienced.

One of the most beautiful places to see snow mountains.
Jun 2023 • Family
We were very lucky that the day was a day for pictures!!!
#1, when you visit agui de midi, don't skip the gondola to Italy in good days.
#2, visit mer de glace as early as possible. We went there right after visiting agui de midi without having lunch (just ate some snack), it will be very crowdy late afternoon.

Nice views, uncomfortable huts
Jul 2020 • Friends
Went up with a group of friends. Weather was bad on the first day but we managed to get to Goutier hut abit late, so we had to eat aom the stairs. No washing opportunities and rooms were open. Summit was fairly easy, tracks were visible. On our way down we stayed at Tete Rousse and it was horrible. Only one dish for dinner and rooms were really cold.
