French Alps Travel Guide Resources & Trip Planning Info by Rick Steves

"Rising to 15,780 feet, Mont Blanc dominates the Savoie skyline and anchors a range that includes some of Europe's highest mountains, serving as the centerpiece of France's mountain-sports capital. I found the surrounding region — described as the penthouse of the French Alps — offers drop-dead spectacular scenery; its stubborn history (Savoie kept its independence until 1860) helped turn mountains from obstacles into destinations for travelers. Nearby wooden chalets overflowing with geraniums and restaurants where cheese fondue is ubiquitous give the area a distinctly Swiss feel." - RICKSTEVES

The ice cave is definitely worth a visit, The views are stunning, and the food is quite good and reasonably priced. If you plan to visit the ice cave, be sure to wear a jacket, as you may get wet.

Crowded but beautiful. Physically challenging, technically not so much. Still it's not a hike and you need mountaineering equipment!

It’s worth visiting for its dramatic mountain views, charming alpine town atmosphere, and endless outdoor adventures. From cable car rides up to the Aiguille du Midi to strolling through its cozy streets, Chamonix is a place where nature’s beauty truly takes your breath away.

The French Alps offer a breathtaking experience with towering peaks, charming villages, and unforgettable views. A cable car ride to Mount Blanc is magical, with a perfect blend of adventure and peace. Enjoy local treats like cheese cakes and beers at a restaurant on the first level. The view from the top is mind-blowing, making it a must-visit for skiing enthusiasts and nature lovers alike.

Gentle from Afar, Fierce Up Close From Zurich, it’s about 300 km and a 5–6 hour bus ride to Chamonix, the gateway to Mont Blanc. From this town at 1,000 m, we took the cable car to Plan de l’Aiguille (2,300 m) for a quick beer with a mountain backdrop, then ascended straight to the Aiguille du Midi (3,842 m). The view from the top was unforgettable—snow-covered peaks, massive glaciers, and climbers tackling near-vertical rock faces. From below, Mont Blanc looked gentle and beautiful, like a cake topped with whipped cream. But up close, it revealed a different side: solemn, unforgiving, and awe-inspiring.
