A day at the foot of Mont Blanc: travel by car or minibus, exploring the village and its history, and free time for the ski lifts.
The cable car whisks you up to 3,842 meters, facing Mont Blanc—one of the most beautiful panoramas in the Alps.
The small Montenvers cog railway takes you to the edge of the Mer de Glace—France's largest glacier—and to the ice cave carved into the glacier each year.
Discover the history of the village of Chamonix, as well as that of the first ascent of the Mont-Blanc by the famous scientist Horace-Bénédict de Saussure in 1787.
An hour from Chamonix or Geneva...
Water flows from the lake into the canals that crisscross the old town, giving it the picturesque charm of the "Venice of the Alps."
Annecy is also world-renowned for the beauty and harmony of its landscapes, as well as for the exceptional water quality of its lake—which, thanks to preservation efforts spanning over 50 years, is now the purest in Europe.
In Vaulx, a small village in an unspoilt countryside, between two large alpine lakes, the Secret Gardens offer you, an exciting visit for every curious person who loves gardens, decoration and architecture, materials, flowers and water.
Yvoire, medieval fortified village nestled on the coast at the tip of the "Petit Lac" Lake Geneva, is one of the most picturesque and most flourishing sites in the region. Awaken your five senses in the heart of its wonderful garden or enjoy the charm of its streets and old stones that invite to dive into history.
Departing from Geneva, Chamonix, or Annecy, visit these three iconic sites and Yvoire at the foot of the French Alps in a single day—from lakes to high mountains.
