Don't miss to take the lift and go up to the mountain. Some times you are standing up of the clouds!

The highest point in Europe must be seen... and there is a cool ice museum... every year a new one, by the way...

You must go with cog railway to the glaicers above the city.

Definitely go to the glacier by the city!

Argentiere is a very pretty village near Chamonix : it is famous for its skiing area, the «Grands Montets» and Lognan, where you can find a lot of ski runs !

à voir le gacier LA MER DE GLACE on y accède à l'aide d'un petit train et quand on arrive là haut c'est un spectacle epoustoufflant âmes sensibles s'abstenir d'effectuer la descente à flanc de montagne qui mène au glacier parroi à pic et escalier en fer accroches dans la roche sinon pour les bols d'air c'est le top

Great destination for winter and summer for mountaineers, night life is great as well, go to Chambre 9, The Pub, Le Choucas, Avalanche
To ski / board : Grands Montets and Brevent

lovely view... and weather

There are many ways to get to Italy from France, but none cooler than up and over the Alps by cable car. From Chamonix, take the téléphérique to the Aiguille du Midi . Once you’ve explored Europe’s highest lift station and looked at the Matterhorn and Mont Blanc, instead of going back down to Chamonix, keep going! Get into the little red télécabine (called Panoramic Mont Blanc) and sail in sunny silence south to Helbronner Point and the Italian border station. Then from Helbronner Point, descend into the Valle d’Aosta and you’re in Italy!

This line stretches three miles with no solid pylon — it’s supported by a “suspended pylon,” a line stretched between two peaks 1,300 feet from the Italian end. It takes 40 minutes to cross over the glacier from Chamonix to Italy. Take care not to arrive at the Italian station at the start of siesta — I’m not guessing on this. You’ll want to pack light (one bag, please, but you already knew that).
