Lorenzo was an excellent and fun instructor. I had never snowboarded before and am now able to do most slopes. He met us in St Martin (travelling over from Val Thorens) and was always early. Thank you Lorenzo

From Chamonix (1035m), fly over the forest to reach le Plan de l’Aiguille in 10 minutes (2317m). On your right, the Glacier des Bossons, in front of you the Mont-Blanc (4810m), on your left the Aiguille Verte, the Drus and the Aiguilles de Chamonix. Then take a second cable car which, in just 10 minutes takes you up to 3777m, over the seracs, the glacier des Pelerins and the hanging glaciers on the north face of the Aiguille du Midi. . From the top, a sightseeing panorama unique in the world. Experience a very high altitude.

This good value system takes you near vertically up to the Bastille fortification with a small museum and two good restaurants Excellent views over Grenoble and you can just glimpse Mont Blanc over the mountains to your back A good experience is to ride up, indulge in good food looking out over the city and then walk the winding trail back down.

If you are staying in St Gervais taking the tram up to ski Les Houches is just a delightful experience. The cost is included in your ski pass. Highly recommended.

Grenoble is famous because of many things. The city was hosting Olympic games in 1968. This has been also a strategic city in France throughout hundreds of years. Take a panoramic ride in one of the round cable cars up to the hill where the famous Bastille is situated - you won't regret it. Besides spectacular views, there is a museum inside the Bastille where you can learn a bit about history of the city and "see" french warriors as well as french resistance in the Alps. I highly recommend. Outside of the Bastille, you can take an easy hike uphill as well as explore a tunnel or grots.
