What awaits you during this activity : A day discovering the Aiguille du Midi & Mer de Glace / Spring-Summer-Automn
Join your Experience 1786 guide for a day of Kodak moments.
Majestic is the word that will come to mind the most during the day... you will be amazed!
Meet your guide at the bottom of the Aiguille du Midi cable car in Chamonix and jump to quickly get to the top of the Aiguille (pin head) mountain. You will be at 3842m, 12605ft in altitude to admire sumptuous landscapes of an Internationally known peak, the Mont Blanc of course, but also the Glacier des Géants, the Pointe Helbronner, the Dome de Goûter, and the Refuge des Cosmiques... so many emblematic mountaineering names and dreams that you can contemplate. Be careful, it's cold even in summer, so make sure you cover up in layers!
Don't miss the "pas dans le Vide", standing in a glass box with a view straight down, shivers guaranteed and a breathtaking photo to prove it!
Enjoy a convivial moment during a locally sourced picnic prepared by your guide.
You will then go back down to Chamonix to take the mythical Montenvers rack and pillon train to the “Sea of ice” Mer de Glace, an experience in itself!
Your guide will teach you about the amazing diminishing glacier and the surrounding peaks and landscapes such as the Grandes Jorasses and the Drues.
You will be able to access the crystal Ice cave in the Mer de Glace (weather permitting) and the Glaciorium to understand the history and evolution of this “Sea of ice” with guidance of your passionate expert.
Return to Chamonix by the Montenvers train, with unforgettable memories and images!
Unavailable from May 13th to June 1rd, 2024 for railroad track maintenance

Your guide for this activity in the Alps : Alban
My playground: the mountains !
I have been passionate about my region and mountains for many years, I love to share my passion that is why I have become a guide.
The first few minutes with Alban are relaxed, get to know each other moments that matter. Have a drink, discuss your expectations, and live the stories you'd love to tell. Almost anything is possible ...
After a few hours with Alban you'll realize you can do it, yes you can.
