Mer de Glace & Montenvers train

Mer de Glace & Montenvers train
Leaving from the centre of Chamonix, this little red train takes you on a panoramic ride up to the famous Mer de Glace – the sea of ice – through the forest and to an extraordinary view of the glacier, frozen like a sea in motion. Visit the Ice grotto, the Museum of Alpine Wildlife and the Crystal museum whilst here.
There is also a café at the top and a restaurant at the Grand hotel du Montenvers which was built in 1880 to house the first mountaineers who came to see the Mer de Glace. ![]()
