du Midi<\/strong><\/a>, you take two trams 20 minutes up towards the Mont Blanc to a height of 3777m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the top, there are outside terraces with great view of the Mont Blanc and surrounding mountains and towns.&nbsp; You can see hikers on the glacier, which you can do with a guide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A highlight is the \u201cStep into the Void\u201d room is a clear glass cage over a 1000m precipice.&nbsp; On our day, there was a 45-minute wait.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Go to the tram office early to check on tickets (60 Euros for adults).&nbsp; During busy times, there can be a 2 hour wait before your time slot.&nbsp; There may still be a delay even with the ticket time.&nbsp; It can be very tight inside, but a very interesting ride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure

glacier where you walk through the ice tube of the glacier with ice sculptures. There are some hikes in the area for the more adventurous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take the train from the train station in Chamonix (30 Euro\/adult), then a gondola down, and then walk down 420 stairs into the valley (80 meters vertical).&nbsp; Along the way, there are signs showing the height of the glacier in decades past.&nbsp; It is amazing to see how it has receded!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a terrace with great views of the glacier and valley as well as a snack bar.&nbsp; They have an interesting crystal collection and Glaciology Exhibit.&nbsp; There is also unique mountain hotel here, which would be fun for an overnight or dinner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-3 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex
