The Aiguille du Midi and the Mer de Glace

The highest day out in the region: the cable car up to 3,842 metres in the morning, France's largest glacier in the afternoon.

9 h with your chauffeur Departure at 08:00

From €810 in an E-Class €890 in a V-Class, seven seats

Book this day
  1. Pick-up at your hotel

    An hour and a quarter by road up the Arve valley, with Mont Blanc straight ahead as you leave Sallanches.

  2. The Aiguille du Midi

    Twenty minutes by cable car up to 3,842 metres. Mont Blanc looks close enough to touch and, on a clear day, the view stretches all the way to the Matterhorn. The boldest step into the Pas dans le Vide, a glass box suspended over a thousand-metre drop.

  3. Lunch in Chamonix

    Your chauffeur drops you in the pedestrian centre, or in the hamlet of Les Praz if you are in the mood for fondue.

  4. The Montenvers and the Mer de Glace

    The rack railway climbs to France's largest glacier in twenty minutes. Depending on the season, you can go down to the ice cave that is carved out afresh every year.

  5. The drive back

    One last look at the massif from Les Houches, then the road home. You are back at your hotel around 5 pm.

Good to know

  • Cable car and train tickets are not included. Book your time slot for the Aiguille du Midi online: in summer, the morning slots go several days in advance.
  • It is often below freezing at the top, even in August: bring a warm jacket and sunglasses.
  • In strong wind or bad weather, the lifts stop running. Your chauffeur will then suggest another programme in the valley.
  • The altitude is not recommended for very young children or for people with heart conditions.

The old town and a tour of the lake

Annecy on foot in the morning, the lake by boat, then the eastern shore by car up to the Col de la Forclaz, which looks out over the whole lake.

7 h with your chauffeur Departure at 09:30

From €630 in an E-Class €695 in a V-Class, seven seats

Book this day
  1. The old town

    The Palais de l'Isle sitting in the middle of the Thiou, the canals, the arcades of rue Sainte-Claire. On Tuesday, Friday and Sunday mornings, the market fills the streets.

  2. The lake by boat

    A crossing to Talloires on one of the lake boats. Your chauffeur drives round by road and waits for you at the landing stage.

  3. Lunch in Talloires

    A terrace by the water, facing the Château de Duingt and the Bauges mountains.

  4. The Col de la Forclaz

    A quarter of an hour of hairpin bends above Talloires, and the whole lake at your feet. Paragliders take off right next to the terrace.

  5. The Château de Menthon

    A thousand years of history, and still lived in by the same family: the rooms, the library and the view over the lake from the ramparts. Back at your hotel around 4.30 pm.

Good to know

  • The boats run from April to October. In winter, your chauffeur takes you all the way round the lake by road.
  • The Château de Menthon is open to visitors in the warmer months. The rest of the year, you can admire it from the road.
  • Boat tickets and visits not included.

Reblochon, chalets and the Col des Aravis

Three quarters of an hour from Annecy, another world: alpine farms, chalet villages and, at the top of the pass, Mont Blanc right in front of you.

7 h with your chauffeur Departure at 09:30

From €630 in an E-Class €695 in a V-Class, seven seats

Book this day
  1. Thônes

    The road leaves the lake through the Fier gorges. A stop in Thônes, with its onion-domed bell tower and its cooperative, where you taste the valley's reblochon.

  2. A farm in Le Grand-Bornand

    Milking, the making of farmhouse reblochon, the ageing cellar, then a tasting with the people who make it.

  3. Lunch in La Clusaz

    Tartiflette or croziflette, in the heart of the village.

  4. The Col des Aravis

    At 1,486 metres, the little chapel of Sainte-Anne and, facing it, Mont Blanc. A short walk on the alpine pasture before heading back down.

  5. Back via Manigod

    The Col de la Croix-Fry, the chalets of Manigod, the Thônes valley. You are back at your hotel around 4.30 pm.

Good to know

  • The farms mostly open their doors from June to September. In winter, the visit takes place at a cooperative or an ageing cellar.
  • In winter, the car is equipped for snow and the road over the pass stays open, except after a very heavy snowfall.

From the Jet d'Eau to the old town, on foot

Geneva is best seen on foot: your chauffeur drops you by the lake in the morning and meets you there at the end of the day.

8 h with your chauffeur Departure at 09:30

From €720 in an E-Class €790 in a V-Class, seven seats

Book this day
  1. Pick-up at your hotel

    Three quarters of an hour by road from Annecy. Drop-off at the Jardin Anglais, on the harbour.

  2. The Jet d'Eau and the Flower Clock

    A hundred and forty metres of water shooting up above the lake. The Eaux-Vives jetty takes you right to its foot, as long as you do not mind a little spray.

  3. The old town

    Saint-Pierre Cathedral and its towers, which look out over the whole lake, the Place du Bourg-de-Four, and the Maison Tavel, the oldest house in the city.

  4. Lunch

    A terrace on the Bourg-de-Four, or the café at the Bains des Pâquis, almost with your feet in the water. In winter, it serves fondue.

  5. The Bastions and the Place des Nations

    The Reformation Wall in the Parc des Bastions, then the tram to the Place des Nations and its giant chair with a broken leg.

  6. The drive back

    Your chauffeur meets you by the lake. You are back at your hotel around 5.30 pm.

Good to know

  • A French-registered car may not drive its passengers from one Swiss address to another: your chauffeur drops you off and picks you up again. In between, you get around on foot, by tram or by mouette, the little yellow boats that cross the harbour.
  • Bring a few Swiss francs for small purchases, even though cards are accepted almost everywhere.
  • Most museums are closed on Mondays. Visits to the Palais des Nations must be booked, and you will need ID.

The French shore of Lake Geneva

A flower-covered medieval village in the morning, the Belle Époque spa town in the afternoon, and the lake as a backdrop all day long.

8 h with your chauffeur Departure at 09:30

From €720 in an E-Class €790 in a V-Class, seven seats

Book this day
  1. Pick-up at your hotel

    An hour by road to the point at Yvoire, skirting round Geneva.

  2. Yvoire

    Cobbled lanes, stone houses covered in flowers, a fishing harbour: it is one of the most beautiful villages in France. At its heart, the Garden of the Five Senses is laid out like a maze.

  3. Perch fillets

    The lake's speciality, served on a terrace facing the water.

  4. Évian-les-Bains

    The Buvette Cachat, where you fill your bottle at the spring, the Palais Lumière, a former spa building, and the funicular that climbs to the grand hotels.

  5. Back via Thonon

    The harbour at Rives and the Château de Ripaille on the way, then the road home. You are back at your hotel around 5.30 pm.

Good to know

  • The Garden of the Five Senses is open from spring to autumn. Évian's funicular is free and runs in the warmer months.
  • Curious about the Swiss shore opposite? The boat crosses from Évian to Lausanne in about half an hour: your chauffeur picks you up in Ouchy.

From Fourvière to Vieux-Lyon

Two thousand years of history on one hill, secret passageways between Renaissance buildings, and lunch in a bouchon, the quintessential Lyon restaurant.

10 h with your chauffeur Departure at 08:30

From €900 in an E-Class €990 in a V-Class, seven seats

Book this day
  1. Pick-up at your hotel

    A little over an hour and a half on the motorway. Your chauffeur drops you at the top of Fourvière hill.

    The basilica and its esplanade: the whole of Lyon at a glance, and Mont Blanc in the distance on a clear day. Just below, the great Roman theatre, the oldest in France.

  3. Vieux-Lyon and its traboules

    You walk down by the steps. At the bottom, the passageways that cut through Renaissance buildings from one street to the next, and Saint-Jean Cathedral.

    Quenelles, saucisson brioché, cervelle de canut: Lyon cooking, on checked tablecloths.

Frequently asked questions

Does the chauffeur come with us on the visits?

Your chauffeur drops you as close as possible and waits for you. They know the region and are happy to share recommendations, but do not replace a qualified tour guide.

Can we change the programme on the day?

Yes. If the weather closes the Aiguille du Midi or a stop keeps you longer than planned, your chauffeur adapts the rest of the day. Beyond the time booked, each additional hour is charged at €150.

Do we need to book tickets in advance?

For the Aiguille du Midi in summer and for the Palais des Nations, yes. Everything else can be bought on the spot. Tell us which day appeals to you and we will let you know what to book.
