Mer de Glace & access gondola early open summer 2018
Admission to the glacier will resume on Thursday, June 7th
Two days earlier than planned, the Mer de Glace ice cave and the télécabine to access the glacier will reopen for summer 2018, with the Montenvers train already in operation.
The Mer de Glace is undoubtedly one of the most popular visitor attractions in the Chamonix Valley, and one of the most famous in the French Alps. You can access it via the Montenvers train and visit the ice cave once you're there. Other points of interest at Montenvers are the Crystal Gallery, the Museum of Alpine Fauna, various nature trails and the famous Hotel du Montenvers.
