The Mont blanc Express train near Le Buet Haute Savoie France
The Mont Blanc Express is a scenic mountain train route that runs from the French station of St Gervais/Le Fayet, with a steep climb to the Chamonix valley, all the way through Chamonix and Argentiere, under the Col des Montets and down the other side into Martigny in Switzerland. This beautiful railway takes you through some of the most amazing views that you ever seen. The Mont Blanc Express stops at some key places in the Chamonix valley and in Switzerland. One of the largest and most frequented stations is in the centre of Chamonix and provides access to the Aiguille du Midi, the Montenvers tourist train and the Brevent cable car. The next key stop is at Montroc where you can get the Tour-Balme cable car. Another big destination is Le Buet which holds the La Poya ski lift, a popular destination for casual skiers. Vallorcine is the last stop within French borders and is another point at which you can access the Tour-Balme area. To get to the Emosson Dam, a great tourist attraction, you will need to get off at Le Chatelard VS station. Les Marecottes is the final big stop before the end of the line at Martigny. It is a cool place to visit, and draws a lot of visitors due to the alpine zoo and its granite carved swimming pool. The train runs from the early morning hours until the late evening.
