Experience the awe-inspiring Mer de Glace glacier, a short train ride from Arra Montagne in Chamonix, with stunning alpine scenery.

Chamonix’s Mer de Glace: Alpine Glacier Adventure

Just a 15-minute drive from Arra Montagne Haven, the Mer de Glace—France’s largest glacier—is a must-see for Chamonix visitors. Take the scenic Montenvers train from Chamonix to reach this 7km-long “Sea of Ice,” nestled beneath Mont Blanc’s peaks. In summer 2025, explore the glacier’s ice grotto, carved annually to reveal shimmering blue interiors, or visit the Glaciorium museum to learn about glacial science and climate change. The surrounding trails offer breathtaking views of jagged aiguilles and alpine meadows, perfect for a leisurely walk. This half-day trip is ideal for families or couples seeking natural wonder without strenuous hiking.

Getting There: Drive to Chamonix’s Montenvers station or walk (20 minutes), then take the train (€35 round-trip/adult, €25/child).
Tips: Bring a light jacket—glacier air is chilly. Book train tickets online to avoid queues.
