Visiting Mont Blanc was very special for us, and you do not have to be a skier to enjoy it. The views are breathtaking, the scenery magical. We loved this place and want to come back! More

Visiting the Aiguille du Midi platform to observe the Mont Blanc is quite an experience. The starting point is in the town of Chamonix. I will not go on repeating what can be easily read from wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aiguille_du_Midi. The area around the starting point of the cable car was in a mess. We observed reconstruction works going on and a... More

No trip to Chamonix should neglect going up to what feels like touching distance of the top of Mont Blanc. Worth buiying the Mont Blanc unlimited pass just to do this trip. More

We snowboarded in the foothills of Mont Blanc and it is trully a sight to behold. Travelling underneath the mountain via the Mont Blanc tunnel to Courmayeur in Italy is a must! More

Mont Blanc looks great from so many angles, one of my favourites is from the top of Jaillet. The light is especially amazing at sunrise and sunset More

Mont Blanc is a beautiful mountain, winter or summer. It is great for skiing, although not in the standard groomed-resort-kind of way, it is more wild, off-piste skiing, close to nature and the views sourrounding you are breath-taking. The town of Chamonix and the area is nice, lots of good restaurants, entertaining bars and nice shops, especially for sports goods.... More
