Montenvers Train and Mer de Glace

Mer de Glace & Montenvers train

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.
