To get a bit of height, head for Chamonix-Mont-Blanc, the town at the foot of Mont-Blanc, the highest peak in the Alps. There you can walk through its beautiful center, climb the Aiguille du Midi, discover the Mer de Glace, the Dard and Bérard waterfalls or walk through the Gorges de la Diosaz. If you are looking for an activity that will give you timeless memories, we recommend you to take a helicopter flight over the Mont-Blanc.
