Little Red Train to the Sea of Ice
Breathtaking panorama
ALL PATHS LEAD TO THE MER DE GLACE...
Since 1908, summer and winter, the traditional red rail remains the privileged way for everyone to discover the Mer de Glace. It remains one of the major attractions of the Chamonix valley. The charming mountain village would not be quite the same without it.
The power of the Montenvers site seduces us even before our arrival. Every 30 minutes from Chamonix, the little red cogwheel train takes you to 1913m of altitude ! During this breathtaking 20-minute journey, time stands still in this little train from another era.
ALL EYES ON THE ICE GIANT
As soon as you arrive, your eyes will be drawn like a magnet to this view, so often described in fabulous mountain stories. Let yourself be impressed by the spectacle offered by Europe's most mythical glacier. The Mer de Glace is, with its 7 km long and 200 m thick, the largest glacier in France and one of the most visited tourist sites every year.
In front of you stand the Green Needle, the Drus, the Grandes Jorasses, the Grepon's Needle and the Giant's Tooth. And among the highest peaks of Chamonix, admire the Mer de Glace which winds between the mountains. A journey that will transport you to another dimension each time.
