The High Mountains Mont Blanc is the highest mountain in Western Europe, and its breathtaking beauty is unmissable. A mandatory stop is the Aiguille du Midi cable car, taking you to 3,842 meters for a panoramic view of the Alps and a starting point for the legendary Vallée Blanche ski descent. For a touch of history, board the famous red cogwheel train to the Mer de Glace (Montenvers), France's largest glacier stretching over 7km. Dining in Town Chamonix's centre is rich in character and culinary choice. For a picturesque drink or meal in an Art Nouveau setting, try Rose du Pont. If you crave authentic Savoyard fondue, Le Monchu has been a local favorite since 1972. Looking for international flavors? Chez Paolo offers delightful Italian charm, while Poco Loco is renowned for its giant burgers. Just outside town near Lac des Gaillands, Le Vert Lodge is the place to go for excellent Asian-inspired pub meals. Gastronomy Megève is arguably the gourmet capital of the Alps. For the ultimate culinary journey, book a table at Flocons de Sel, Emmanuel Renaut's legendary 3-Michelin-star restaurant. For something more casual but equally delicious, the village is packed with traditional savoyard bistros serving excellent fondue. Après-Ski & Nightlife The party scene is centered around the town. La Folie Douce Hotels (at the Savoy piste base) offers a lively terrace with fire tables and performers. For live music and table dancing, Chambre Neuf is the absolute go-to spot. The night continues in Chamonix Sud at buzzing bars like Bar'Up, The Pub, and Beckett & Wilde.
