Chamonix Travel Guide | Rhône-Alpes Part 1
Jan 19, 2026
Season 2
Episode 17
the getAwayZ – European Travel Podcast
In Part 1 of our Rhône-Alpes series, we’re starting in Chamonix, one of the most iconic mountain towns in the French Alps.
We talk about what Chamonix is really like beyond the photos, how the town feels when you’re walking through it and why it stands out compared to other mountain destinations we’ve visited. We cover the Mer du Glace glacier experience, the ice cave, hiking to Cascade du Dard, where we ate and where we stayed.
This episode is about slowing down, choosing the right experiences and letting a place like Chamonix set the pace instead of trying to do everything.
Next week in Part 2, we continue through the Rhône-Alpes with stops in Annecy, Aix-les-Bains and Chambéry.
