If you are staying in St Gervais taking the tram up to ski Les Houches is just a delightful experience. The cost is included in your ski pass. Highly recommended.

Grenoble is famous because of many things. The city was hosting Olympic games in 1968. This has been also a strategic city in France throughout hundreds of years. Take a panoramic ride in one of the round cable cars up to the hill where the famous Bastille is situated - you won't regret it. Besides spectacular views, there is a museum inside the Bastille where you can learn a bit about history of the city and "see" french warriors as well as french resistance in the Alps. I highly recommend. Outside of the Bastille, you can take an easy hike uphill as well as explore a tunnel or grots.

We used the funicular to visit the Theatres Romains. The trip up the hill was good and very quick. The fare was rather cheap and we had a great day.

The new telecabine is great. The cabins are spacious and the views on the way up and down over lac Léman are superb. The area is a walkers paradise and although a hidden gem we’ve never found it so busy we have to wait long for a cabin.

ENJOY THE MOUNTAINS! From the Index, admire the view of the Mer de Glace, the Argentiere and le Tour glaciers. Also discover superb lakes (Lac Blanc, Lac des Cheserys...) and beautiful hikes in the Aiguilles Rouges Nature Reserve!

We took the cable car to Flegere and onward chair lift to l'Index before walking back to Chamonix. The Mont Blanc pass is useful giving access over a number of days although for us personally it may have been better just to have the option of a combination of lift trips to accommodate the hiking in between.The views from whichever side of the valley are simply stunning
