Tramway du Mont Blanc - Gare de Saint Gervais - Saint-Gervais-les-Bains

Great tramway which takes you up to Mont Lachat. There are a few different stops along the way which you get off at or get back on. There are a couple of refuges where you can get refreshments but most will go there for the views. Can be done in a morning or afternoon.
If you're staying in the Chamonix area and have a Multipass it is free

A must if you are visiting this area! We stayed in St. Gervais and took the train from there to the last stop. We then hiked down a few stops. Check the hike difficulties as there can be some harder areas - especially on your way down. Magnificent views. The gift shop at St. Gervais is very nice - has some cool sweat shirts. The train goes very steep and there are lovely views from the train!

The Tramway du Mont Blanc is an impressive adventure railway that runs from Saint-Gervais to Bellevue and offers breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains. The ride is a highlight for both nature lovers and hiking enthusiasts. The carriages are comfortable and offer large windows to enjoy the spectacular scenery.

The station in Saint-Gervais is well organized and offers all the necessary information for visitors. The driver was friendly and gave interesting insights into the region during the ride. The attractiveness of the route is further increased by the possibility of getting off at various stops to go on hikes.

Overall, the Tramway du Mont Blanc is an excellent day trip destination that is recommended for both families and solo travelers. An unforgettable experience in one of the most beautiful mountain regions in the Alps!

We took the tramway in the winter where part of the way is closed. It went from Le Fayet to Bellevue which took one hour and then back. You can either choose to go back directly or stay for 2 hours. The way goes mainly through the woods and there is a part where you have a nice view at the Mont Blanc. Considering the price though I would definitely prefer the aguille du midi to this one. We only did it since it was included in the Skipass. From chamonix it takes about 45 minutes by train so you need to plan half a day.

Make sure you arrive early for parking!!!
Great experience but slightly on pricier side. We did the hike down from Lachat to Bellevue which the conductor recommended and it was a stunning hike down.

Visited during the height of summer and train very busy. Advise you to book tickets and your preferred train departure time beforehand. On arrival at your stop you must book your return train. Staff from off your arrival train open the ticket office, so book the return train otherwise you need to wait for the next train to arrive. Only able to travel as far as Mont Lachat due to engineering works but still beautiful and impressive views. Short walk takes you to a good viewpoint of the Chamonix valley. Suggest it's best to take the first train and spend full day getting off and exploring the stops from Col de Voza upwards.

Enjoyed the well run and clean trains that took us to and from the top of the mountain. I found it interesting that you can't actually see Mont Blanc from the top view point but it is beautiful nonetheless.
