   Montenvers Mer de Glace Information

This charming little red train has been ferrying travellers up to the Montenvers site and the world famous Mer de Glace glacier since 1908.

Surrounded by prestigious summits, les Drus (3754 m), les Grandes Jorasses (4205 m) and les Grands Charmoz (3842 m), the Montenvers site offers numerous exhibitions to enable everyone to know more about the life of the largest French glacier (7 km long !) and about nature in the Alps.
