“Lovely lovely day . Our guide Raymond made it special. His commentary and guidance were fabulous. They even took a detour through the mountains to avoid traffic delays. The quaint little town of Rappswil and the recommended restaurant to eat the savoury cheese cake were fabulous. The bus was super comfortable.Heidi land was nice ,it was our good luck that the various alpine homes were open ,so we got to go inside and see life as it was at the time. The visit to Vadoz was marred by awful weather. Getting a passport stamp in the tourist office was fun. Over all a lovely lovely day. Thank you .”

Travel from Geneva to Chamonix aboard a panoramic SkyView bus, then choose the Aiguille du Midi cable car, Montenvers train, or both. Guides such as Chris, David, and Antoine are praised for clear explanations and calm organization. Bring your passport, warm layers, and euros.
“We booked the basic tour but because we thought we may never visit again, we decided to spend the money for the gold experience. We’ve been on many tours, but never this expensive. It was truly worth every penny!”
A loop, an open deck, a night run or a whole day on the coach.
