If you love mountains and the outdoors, Chamonix is the first choice to visit in France. If you will be there taking gondolas to the different peaks for more than one day, buy a Mont Blanc Natural Resort MultiPass online before getting there. You can pick up your pass 24/7 from an ATM-looking machine at a booth at this address: 100 Place de l'Aiguille du Midi, 74400 Chamonix. This machine is within walking distance of anywhere you stay in Chamonix. The MultiPass will save you much money.

This is a great spot for admiring the granite spire of the Aiguille du Dru and the majestic Aiguille Verte beyond. One of the most iconic aiguilles in the Mont Blanc massif, the Petit Dru is famously one of the Alps' six great north faces, along with the likes of the Eiger and the Matterhorn. Perhaps the most notable climb on the peak was in August 1955 when legendary Italian alpinist Walter Bonatti climbed the southwest pillar solo, a feat that led to the feature being known as the Bonatti Pillar. Sadly, the route was destroyed by rockfall in 2005.

If you're looking for a hidden alpine gem in the Swiss Alps, Lac de Salanfe is a must-visit. Nestled at 1,925 meters above sea level in the canton of Valais, this stunning reservoir offers a peaceful escape surrounded by towering peaks and pristine nature.

Charonix is a very charming town, a blend of historic mountain village and international alpine resort. Many beautiful old hotels, chalets, and cafés with views of Mont Blanc are worth a visit.
