We bought our own multi lift pass and went the Aiguille du Midi cable car first.
3842 metres high and -7*C it was incredible to be so far above the close by mountains. Perfect clear blue sky. There is one higher cable car that can take you into Italy but it wasn't open for the season yet.
Lunch at Les 2 Gares which was really nice. Great ice cream too.
The we rode the Montenvers cog Railway to the Mer de Glace (sea of ice) glacier that has seen better days. We took another cable car down to the start of 420 steps down to the ice cave. It was a bit of a let down to walk through about 100m of ice cave but at least we got a photo of Ronnie on his throne. Walking back up was good training for the rest of the week!
Then we went into Chamonix and had a drink at one of the many bars to watch the paragliders and a few stray clouds come over Aiguille Midi.
Dimitri met us and dropped us back at our hotel in Geneva.
We had dinner at the hotel where Ronnie had a salad, traditional fondue and apple strudel. I had Lake Leman fish and a local Rose. They had a live band playing traditional swiss music including yodelling, cow bells and and alpen horn. Really great atmosphere a wonderful experience.
