Lugar espectacular aunque a la vez produce tristeza comprobar como se están perdiendo los glaciares de los Alpes a una velocidad muy grande. Como era de esperar en agosto, mucha masificación y el hecho de no poder reservar franjas horarias para la actividad hace que tengas que hacer bastante cola.

I was not aware from the activity description of the numbers of steps down to the ice cave - I think this should be more clearly stated for those with accessibility issues . And I think the number of people allowed in the ice cave should be more limited . I visited the Mer de Gkace in 1980 so it was very sad to see it so diminished :(

The App MBNR didn't work at all. Not on my mobile, not on my wifes mobile (both android). We then bought our tickets with the mobile on the website. That worked.

The famous little red train takes passengers from Chamonix (1035 m) to the Montenvers station (1913 m) in 20 minutes. On arrival, the view of the Mer de Glace is breathtaking, bearing witness to the effects of climate change.
