Go there very early in the morning. If you also want to do Mount Blanc, you can buy a multipass right away, which then also counts for using the train there.

Hiking

There are a lot of stairs to be taken down, which can be very tiring on the way back. Please do not bring any dogs or small children with you.

Hiking

The Mer de Glace is a beautiful but sad glacier. Too many tourists… the ice is melting at an impossible speed. More than 500 stair steps to get there. But hey… a cable car is under construction that will connect Montenvers to the Mer de Glace
