Trains in the Chamonix Valley
Discover the beautiful region of the Mont Blanc and the Trient valley by train. Ride on a smooth, comfortable train through
spectacular Alpine scenery. The train runs from the early morning hours until the late evening. The Mont Blanc Express SNCF trains run from the French station of St Gervais/Le Fayet with a steep climb to the Chamonix
valley, through the length of the Chamonix valley, then on through the Montroc
Tunnel to a high point near le Buet in the Vallorcine valley.
The excitement
continues above a stunning precipice towards the Trient valley. Another
tunnel marks the beginning of the final descent into the Rhône valley
and the town of Martigny, Switzerland.
Along the line there are a number of stations. The main station is in the centre of Chamonix and provides access to the Montenvers tourist train to the Mer de Glace.
You can access the Tramway du Mont Blanc in Le Fayet or from the Bellevue cable car in Les Houches.

This is another gem of the Haute Savoie region.
A small rail car winds its way up from St. Gervais to the Nid D'Aigle (the Eagles Nest). This train is popular with climbers on their way to
climb Mt
Blanc.
Fantastic views of the Bionnassay Glacier and the open ground of Prarion
and Mt Lachat make this a summertime must !
The Montenvers Train
departs from it's own station next to the main station in Chamonix. This
old furnicular climbs a steep track to a stunning vantage point above the
Mer de Glace. From here, views of Les Grandes Jorasses and the Les Drus
are exceptional.
From the top station at Montenvers walk down to the glacier and into an
ice grotto. There are many walking
tracks down to valley floor and traverses along the mountains to Plan
de l'Aiguille.
