The terrace overlooking the Mont-Blanc massif will not leave you indifferent. A beautiful place and a varied and creative cuisine. The marrowbone is a must!

Lunch at Bistrot Flocon Village
Reblochon nem, Fera du Lac accompanied by its mashed carrots with orange, or potatoes cooked in hay... many ways to enjoy a cuisine as authentic as modern.

Massage with ancestral virtues, by using Basalt stones. The penetrating and radiant heat of the volcanic stones allows a muscular warming, and the dissolution of tensions.
Dinner at Petit Cuchet 15min by car
Panoramic terrace with a veranda, appreciable when the coolness arrives. Traditional and Montagnarde cuisine.
The Aiguille du Midi 30min by car
Take altitude! In 20 minutes, the cable car takes you to 3777 meters height. The terraces offer a 360° view of all the French Alps. An exceptional experience.
Lunch in La Calèche
It is an institution in Chamonix. Generous and appetizing mountain cuisine. Deserves its reputation and affluence.
Discovery of the Sea and the Ice Cave
Every year, for the past 50 years, the Ice Cave is rebuilt. A unique experience to do at least once in a lifetime. At the end of the adventure, the Mer de Glace. Unfortunately, this legendary glacier will soon be nothing but ancient history. With a recoil of 2,5km, the Sea of Ice is not eternal.
Chez Constant Dinner
Savoyard dishes for a “bistronomic” cuisine with a touch of originality (gratin of small gray at the Beaufort).
Visit of Yvoire 1h by car
One of the most beautiful villages in France • 2012 edition
Stone houses with wooden balconies, alleys with flowers of wisteria and geraniums... It is called "the pearl of Lake Geneva". Dominating the shores of the lake that made the village a port of fishermen and boatmen, the square keep is one of the remains of Yvoire’s medieval past.

Walk along Lake Geneva
Lake Geneva is a lake of glacial origin, shared between Switzerland and France. It is 72 kilometres long and offers a magical spectacle especially at nightfall.
Dinner at the Domancy Barn 10min car
Friendly restaurant atmosphere. Very good price/quality ratio.
Hiking & picnic in the beautiful Cirque du Fer-à-Cheval 1h by car
The circus is part of the Sixt-Passy National Nature Reserve, and is also a Grand Site de France. This limestone hemicycle with walls from 500 to 700m high, crowned by summits approaching 3000m altitude, will not leave you indifferent. It is, in itself, one of the reasons why you will fall in love with the mountain in summer. It is also the largest alpine mountain circus.
Dinner at the restaurant La Sauvageonne on the way back
The reception is very pleasant. Unavoidable for fans of calf's head to take away. The chef (former Salt Flake in Megève) is very good advice. Very nice menu of dishes and wine. Professional and dynamic team
