Itinerary
Day 1
Today’s recommended itinerary is designed to help you ease into post-trek relaxation while experiencing some of Chamonix’s highlights. Begin your morning with a delicious breakfast at your 4-star hotel before heading out for a scenic cable car ride to the Aiguille du Midi. Use your included voucher to access this breathtaking experience — don’t miss the famous “Step into the Void” for stunning views of Mont Blanc.
After your mountain adventure, return to Chamonix for lunch at one of the town’s many charming cafés or restaurants — the choice is yours. In the afternoon, unwind with a rejuvenating visit to the luxurious QC Terme Chamonix Spa, using the spa voucher included in your travel packet.
In the evening, explore Chamonix’s vibrant dining scene at your leisure for dinner. All activities can be planned according to your schedule using our easy “How to Book” guide and the included vouchers.
Day 2
After a restful night in your 4-star accommodations, start your day with a European buffet breakfast included at the hotel. Today’s recommended itinerary takes you to the stunning Mer de Glace — the “Sea of Ice” — via the historic Montenvers cogwheel train. Once there, explore the glacier’s shimmering ice cave and learn more about the region’s alpine history at the Glaciorium museum.
For lunch, we suggest relaxing on the sunny terrace of the Montenvers Hotel, where you can enjoy a snack or meal with sweeping views of the glacier and surrounding peaks.
In the afternoon, you might choose to continue the adventure using your Multipass, which gives access to several additional lifts and cable cars around the Chamonix Valley — including Les Bossons, Brévent–Flégère, and Grands Montets. Or, if you prefer, simply stroll through town and soak in more of Chamonix’s charm.
Dinner is again left open for you to enjoy wherever and whenever you’d like. Use our “How to Book” guide and included vouchers to plan your day with ease and flexibility.
Day 3
Today marks the end of your Chamonix experience. Enjoy one final European buffet breakfast at your 4-star hotel before preparing for departure. Hotel check-out is scheduled for 11:00 AM.
If you have some extra time before leaving, consider a few optional activities to make the most of your last day — perhaps a leisurely stroll through town, a visit to the Alpine Museum or Chocolate Factory Shoukâ, or a relaxing coffee at one of Chamonix’s charming cafés. Whatever you choose, we hope these extra days in the Chamonix Valley have left you feeling refreshed and inspired.
Please Note: Since this trip allows you to explore at your own pace, we recommend booking key activities like cable cars, spa visits, and tours in advance to secure your preferred times. While there is no fixed itinerary, availability for popular attractions can vary, especially during peak seasons. This flexibility means you can tailor your days to suit your interests and energy levels, but please be aware that some activities may require advance reservations. Normal terms and conditions apply.
