The Mont Blanc Express - a magical experience in the Alps
The Mont Blanc Express runs between Le Fayet (Municipality of Saint Gervais), through the Chamonix Valley, and down to the Rhone valley where it terminates at Martigny in the canton of Valais, Switzerland.
The train passes along the west side of the Mont Blanc Massif and takes the traveller on a spectacular journey with many interesting points to stop and explore, such as the Emosson Dam. The terminal, Martigny is an ancient Roman city with an original stadium and the new Gianadda Museum.
The Mont Blanc Express is considered one of the most beautiful rail journeys in the Alps.
