| France - Chamonix
As known as Chamonix Mont-Blanc, Chamonix is a small town in French Alps, which is closest to the highest peak of the Alps, Mont Blanc (4807m). Main attractions of the town is to travel by cable cars to Aiguille du Midi (3842m) to watch Mont Blanc; and to travel by mountain train to Montenvers to watch Mere de Glacier (Glacier Sea). However, due to my flight from Hong Kong had been delayed for 6 hours, I was forced to cancel the Montenvers part of the itinerary. | |||||
