Itinerary
Meet our guide and drive to Chamonix Mont Blanc
As an option : Embark on an unforgettable journey to the Aiguille du Midi, one of the most iconic peaks in the Mont-Blanc massif. Accessible by a stunning cable car ride that ascends 3,842 meters, the Aiguille du Midi offers breathtaking panoramic views of the Alps, including the majestic Mont-Blanc. Experience the thrill of standing on the "Step into the Void" glass-floored observation deck, and enjoy spectacular vistas of glaciers, surrounding peaks, and deep valleys. This is the ultimate alpine adventure for those seeking to witness the raw beauty of the mountains from one of the highest accessible points in Europe.
The hike from Plan de l'Aiguille to Mer de Glace is an unforgettable alpine adventure, offering stunning views of the Mont-Blanc massif, glaciers, and rugged mountain landscapes. Starting from the Plan de l'Aiguille (2,310 meters), accessible via the Aiguille du Midi cable car, the trail winds through alpine meadows, rocky paths, and scenic ridgelines, descending gradually towards the iconic Mer de Glace, the largest glacier in France. Along the way, hikers are treated to awe-inspiring vistas of snow-capped peaks, cascading waterfalls, and dramatic cliffs, while also passing ancient glacial formations. The route offers a unique opportunity to witness the immense power of nature as the glacier’s size and beauty unfold.
Mer de Glace (Sea of Ice) is one of the most famous and stunning glaciers in the French Alps, located at the foot of the Mont-Blanc massif. Spanning about 7 kilometers in length, it is the largest glacier in France and offers visitors a truly unique experience. You will come back to Chamonix via a coghweel train

Traveler reviews
Great Guide and Spectacular Views!
We had an amazing hiking and sightseeing experience on this trip. Our expert guide Chris was fantastic, he was very knowledgeable about the area, the mountains and glaciers, and the trail itself. It was extremely helpful to have him guiding us throughout the whole experience. He went above and beyond. This is a good tour to choose if you want to fit a lot of the Chamonix-Mont Blanc activities into one day, with a bit more outdoorsy experience. We rode the bus with another Keytours group, and met our guide once we reached Chamonix. We opted to do the cable car trip to Aiguille du Midi so were able to spend a little time up there before heading back down to Plan de l’Aiguille where we started hiking. The mountain views were spectacular on the entire length of the trail. The hike was at a comfortable pace with rolling ups and downs but no major elevation gain, and took a little under 3 hrs with a couple breaks. We ended the hike at the Mer de Glace and still had plenty of time to take the cable car down to the glacier cave and walk into the glacier. We then took the mountain train back down to Chamonix and had a little time left to walk around town. Make sure to pack lunch, sun protection, and plenty of water.
