Geneva to Chamonix day trip with Aiguille du Midi cable car, glass views, and the Montenvers train to Mer de Glacé.
“The day started early and was well worth it, our guide was both attentive and knowledgeable with a bit of humour thrown in, Chamonix was beautiful and interesting at the same time, the cable cars were brilliant and the views spectacular although very windy at the top, the only disappointment was not being able to go down to the Glacier due to the high winds but we still enjoyed the train journey there and back and once again amazing views, all in all a very enjoyable trip that was definitely worth the money , thank you”

Chamonix tandem paragliding from Le Brévent with a pro pilot. About 20 minutes in the air over Mont Blanc views.
“I flew with Xavier on my birthday and my first time in Chamonix and it was my best experience so far! He was so positive and funny so he made this flight easy going and it wasn’t scary with a professional at all. He told me he is flying since year ‘92 as I remember, but definitely for a long time now! The take off and landing were super smooth. Pilot’s professionalism and knowledge made it easy to understand and cooperate. He was very responsible about safety. A very enjoyable experience, he also asked if I want some tricks, which were very cool too! The view from the Mont-Blanc was…”

Geneva to Chamonix for Mont Blanc scenery, then a guided Geneva tour to see Jet d'eau and the Flower Clock.
“Chamonix was nice - though half a day makes for a really rushed experience. Also, almost everyone else on our bus was doing a full day trip to Chamonix so we had a bit of a hard time being accepted onto the different bus back at 12:30 to get the Geneva city tour. The guides didn’t seem to expect people to be doing that, so it was a bit confusing. Once we figured out when and where the tour was, it was good.”

Private 3-hour ski lesson in Chamonix with equipment and clothing included at Les Planards, ideal for first-timers over 12.
“We booked this activity and the ski instructor did not show up. Booked for 1:30pm, we waited over an hour and a half, asked multiple staff members what to do but they were very unhelpful, messaged the tour company who did not reply for around 45mins and then we finally discovered that there was a mix up and our tour had not been booked at the time they told us (even though we had paid £430+). Waste of time and money! We bought the ski passes and insurance (around £73) which we will not be able to get our money back for - even though this is no fault of…”

“Olivier really knows his mountains! we learned so much about the Mer de glace and he was very patient with us, allowing us to take our time in each place and providing interesting information as we went along. As a first timer in the Alps, Olivier was the perfect choice to understand the region and geology of the glaciers. Highly recommended! too bad the aguille du midi was closed because of the strong winds. had a good time nevertheless at mer de glace. Merci beaucoup Olivier!”
