Mer de Glace



Its name of this glacier means Sea of Ice and it is located in the Alps and it a very tempting attraction for skiers from all over the world in winter. This glacier is particularly fast as it moves at a speed of a centimeter per hour.

It is specifically located in the Chamonix Valley and without a doubt it is the longest French glacier displaying 200 meters of depth and 7 km of length. Don`t forget to look for the ice sculptures under the glacier.

The Montenvers Railway was built as the first tourist attraction in the area and for transportation the cable car can take you to the Ice Grotto.
