The experience of being at Mont Blanc and the glacier made us feel like we were inside of a National Geographic magazine.

Review of the self-guided Chamonix trip from Geneva, with practical advice on Aiguille du Midi, Mer de Glace, timing, cost, and value.

“The views and scenery from Chamonix & Aiguille du Midi is absolutely stunning and picturesque. Temp at Aiguille du Midi was around 3⁰C in July 2022 and needed a light jacket. Beautiful views and plenty of phot ops. However, the cable car ride (two for ascent and descent each) needs a lot to be desired. Absolutely uncomfortable for 40+ pax to be stuffed into one cable car.
