Europe’s highest cable car starts here, ascending to 12,605 feet (3,842 meters) to reach Aiguille
du Midi. From here, you can enjoy a cappuccino from the terrace or grab some lunch while taking in views of Mont Blanc – the highest peak in Western Europe – and the French, Swiss and Italian Alps. Once you’re at the top, take a gondola ride over the Glacier du GĂ©ant to the Pointe Helbronner in Italy. Chamonix (Chamonix Mont-Blanc station) can reached in just over four hours from Lyon (Lyon Part-Dieu station) on regional trains. You need to connect in St-Gervais-les-Bains. Make sure you get a window seat so you can enjoy the glorious views. More:
