Cable car looks good, and takes you to a high place. Personally it was too pricey for me to go on the cable car on a cloudy day. I might pay this amount of money on a sunny day without clouds. The toilets below the cable car are clean.

Freeride paradise? no just Freedom! The resort is hold by local mountain guides and give you huge playground for freeriders. You must respect the mountain because the danger is not far. You have daily a report from the mountain guides at the botom of the lift. They will give you all informations you need to enjoy your journey. Respect their job, respect the mountain and respect the other nature lovers. This place is unique!

Great cable car service to take you to the top of meije. Staff was fun and helpful, and the lines were short (it was the start of summer when we visited so that may be a factor) all of the cabins were clean and comfortable

Great views in the summer. Has a beautiful view and great playground on the first stop. Great hike options here too.

Breathtaking views. The climb is impressive and not so busy when we were there (even for summer). Nevertheless, 31€/p (even for a 30min. ascension) seems a bit pricy… Staff was friendly and I recommend this activity for your trip in the French alps.

What a beautiful scenery up at 3300 meters. It took some time with the cable car to get up, but it's worth going. If you don't like cable cars, just don't go. At least 8 times a stop when people go in and out the cable car and meanwhile you're hanging in the sky high above the ground.

Very pleasant cable car tour up to 2400 meter and then to 3200m. Great views. Nice ice cave. We walked back from 3200m to 2400m station in 2.5 hours.

The most amazing mountain views from the top and some small animals to see on the way down.

If you've ridden from St Michel de Maurienne you know. What can I say about this iconic cycle climb it's rock hard but boy the views are well worth the pain.

Breathtaking landscape and view! We drove up the Col du Galibier, which was kinda scary at some point bc the street is incredibly narrow. As we drove up the mountain you would see many bikers struggling to get up this mountain, they of course made it! We stopped the care midway and hiked the remainder of the mountain. As we got on top we probably took about 30 min to take in this view. It was an incredible journey and totally worth it!!

Ride up here with your bicycle! Stunning views on the top as a reward. Additionally, a spectacular descent on mostly very good roads.

As a cyclist this is one of the highlights of my trip to France. It's a bloody hard climb, but so rewarding at the top for the views. I rode it in October, at the top it said 1c of my Wahoo so it made the descent quite cold.

Top of a Tour De France climb. Well worth the effort to get there. Views are spectacular and the descent is awesome. Give it a go.

Southern part of the French Alps (Graic Alps). Dream Pass for a biking challenge. 43 kilometers, over 2,000 meters of altitude difference and 2,642 at the highest point. Snow stays there all year round, the air is crisp that you want to climb up and you need only good weather to admire the three thousand meters around (Grand Galibier, Pic des Trois Eveches, Arves massif). The mountain pass is the highest point of the Tour de France .

Do not miss this place. Managed completely by volunteers, this is an historical and military museum, extremely well curated.

They did an amazing job restoring this fort. If you are going to visit one Italian Alpine fort go here because the museum is comprehensive.

Complete and interesting, a unique place!

Nice experience, the best part is reading newspapers from the WW2 period (understanding of Italian required). Trading them in hindsight is a great way to realize how deep was the fascist propaganda at the time, there is no account of any loss, only triumphalistic announces, even when the axis was losing ground. There is a great collection of howitzers and other artillery pieces, from the invention of the rifled barrel onwards. For those who like this kind of weapons, it's most definitely worth a visit. For those who don't, the view from the top might be enough to compensate.

A must for anyone with an interest in military history; in fact, in history tout court. Each year the collection gets richer, thanks to the admirable work of the volunteers.

road is not paved but accessible with a private car. perfect for short walk with kids and picnic

Extensive museum, and a very interesting timeline

one of the most beautiful places I have ever been, they even have a cute bakery and cheese shop and a few restaurants at the top! gorgeous hikes and amazing picnic spots, and the drive was stunning! you won’t regret going

This is a wonderful place! Stunning nature, beautiful color of water, greenery around. It is convenient to come to a picnic and relax by the water. Swimming is forbidden because of underwater currents. The road around the lake is rocky, not any car will pass.

Nice panoramic views. Great place for picnics And relax.

Such an amazing place! Stunning nature where you can breath pure air and also enjoy the fresh air. You can appreciate beautiful landscapes sorrounded by mountains, valleys and glaciers.

It really is a beautiful place with amazing landscapes. between Italy and France You can walk around and come here to eat it’s a must !

Nice

Best trip ever by road...

A stunning French/Italian mountain pass with views to die for on the Italian side. The huge reservoir at the top is crystal clear and fed by several cascading mountain streams. Apart from the wonderful natural scenery there are also some marvellous buildings, old and new, including the wooden church.

Very beautiful road! Altitude 2085 m. The term "Mont Cenis" could be derived from mont des cendres ("mountain of ashes"). According to tradition, following a forest fire, a great quantity of ashes accumulated on the ground, thus the name. The path of ashes was found during the building work of the route.

Nice pass. I got through it from Italy to France. Not dificult to drive. Very good panoramic views

Most beautiful drive! Views all around. Rare to be able to drive above treeline.

Extremely beautiful place and super nice way for a motorbike trip. A bit cold!

Stunning here ,can walk whole time then find good place relax ,feel that nature ,that is comfortable!

Lovely getting the cable cars up to the start point of one of the hikes. Then the hike was glorious.

Amazing ski destination – whatever you’re looking for, you’ll find it here! From easy, chill slopes to wild, uneven runs. The views of the surrounding mountains are absolutely stunning, and the snow conditions are excellent. I did miss having more trees around, as the landscape is very open and a bit desolate – though some people might actually prefer that. If you’re into partying, the town has some great spots – especially if you’re Danish! Just head to Café Snesko – you’re going to love it.

A very good ski resort. From beginners to advanced skiers, you can find good trails that will suit you. Also a very nice apres ski. Lots of hotels offers ski-in ski-out. Val thorens offers ski options when other ski resorts are already closed for the season.

Val Thorens has a great vibe, there are lots of amazing hotels and bars/restaurants. Shopping is easy with lots of convenience stores and also lots of specialist winter sports stores for all your skiing and snowboarding needs; though be prepared to pay a small (5-10% in my experience) resort premium on purchases here versus high street prices. Internet shopping is clearly the best option before arriving to make sure you get the best prices on equipment. Aside from the great bars and eateries, Val Thorens also has one or two slopes that you can ski and board on. Being a part of 3 Valleys it's a part of the largest ski resort in the world with hundreds of kilometers of groomed slopes. I love the ease of navigating around the resort using the many many lifts. There are runs for all levels, though if you're a complete beginner you may lack variety as there are relatively few green runs compared to other resorts. That being said, there are plenty of blues that are very manageable for beginners. Being at altitude I've found the snow quality and quantity to be better than other resorts in the area, including the 3 Valleys resorts of Courchevel and Meribel. Being lower they can often suffer with either slushy or icy conditions much more so that Val Thorens seems to. Final observation is that Val Thorens is an all ages resort. It doesn't matter if you're a family, young, old, or anywhere in between, Val Thorens has something for everyone, and all coexist peacefully.

The Perfect Destination for Skiing and Relaxation I recently visited this mountain, and I can confidently say it’s a paradise for ski and nature lovers! The area boasts an impressive number of ski slopes, suitable for all levels – from beginners to advanced skiers. The slopes are wide, well-maintained, and offer a safe skiing experience, making every moment on the mountain truly enjoyable. They are impeccably groomed daily, and the snow quality is excellent, no matter the weather. Beyond the slopes, the resort features cozy relaxation areas. The comfortable cabins, cafés with breathtaking views, and heated terraces provide the perfect spot to unwind between ski sessions. Whether you’re passionate about winter sports or just looking for a peaceful retreat in nature, this destination offers the perfect combination of adventure and relaxation. I highly recommend it!

Val Thorens – Where the mountains are majestic and the buildings… aren’t Let’s be honest: Val Thorens is like dating someone with a stunning personality and a questionable wardrobe. The mountains? Absolutely breathtaking. Snow-draped peaks, endless ski runs, and views that make you forget your Wi-Fi password. Nature here is working overtime. And then… there’s the village. The buildings? Imagine 1970s concrete met a ski resort brochure and said, “Let’s do brutalism, but make it beige.” It’s like someone tried to stack shoeboxes in a snowstorm and called it urban planning. Charming? Not exactly. Functional? Sure. Photogenic? Only if you crop aggressively. But hey – you’re not here for the architecture. You’re here to ski, après-ski, and maybe pretend you’re in a Bond film while sipping overpriced vin chaud. And for that, Val Thorens delivers. Just don’t look too hard at the hotel façade on your way down the slope.

Great skiing area. Really enjoyed it. Not pretty in the villages but well makes up for that with the slopes.

At 2350m, snow is not yet an issue. The station is geared towards skiing and cater mainly to an international clientele. British and Dutch mainly. It has the trappings of a small French town with fresh breads, some cafes for drinks and meals but remains a very touristic area. Perfect for skiing. Going to the piste is relatively easy.

We enrolled our 6-year-old child in the Oxygen ski school for a week and were very pleased! Our main goal was for her to improve her skiing, and the progress was simply amazing. Compared to other schools we've tried, the results here were significantly better—she became much more confident and skilled on the slopes. Huge thanks to the instructors! A minor downside was the lunch arrangement. Meals were served in a different hotel, and for young kids, carrying their gear and getting there wasn’t the easiest. They were likely assisted, but it still felt a bit inconvenient. Also, the food selection could be a bit more varied. Despite this, if we visit again, we’ll most likely choose Oxygen again—the quality of instruction here is truly outstanding!

Extremely Disappointing Experience – Would Not Recommend This was our first season trying snowboarding, and we were really looking forward to a new and exciting experience. Unfortunately, our time with Oxygene ski and snowboarding school nearly ruined what should have been a special holiday. Despite spending a significant amount of money on lessons, the service we received was appalling. The instructor assigned to us, Daniel, was not only rude and condescending but also completely unprofessional. He was very impatient. Constantly mumble and utter something rude under his breath when me or my daughter fall over, when we didn't hear or understood his instructions. Understandably, we got nervous as it is our first time on the slopes. What’s most upsetting is that he used inappropriate and unacceptable language towards my 12-year-old daughter when I wasn’t present. This is beyond disappointing — it’s infuriating. We call it a quit after the second lessons. I had hoped this company would provide supportive, family-friendly instruction, especially for beginners, but that could not be further from our experience. I rarely leave negative reviews, but I feel strongly that others should be warned. There are many ski and snowboard schools out there — I strongly recommend looking elsewhere. We went with Prosneige Ski School to continue with our lessons. They are far more better than Oxygene. Their customer service is top notch and the instructor that assigned to us was superb.

Great ski school with fantastic instructors. Small groups guaranteed and of the numbers get slightly high, they add another instructor which is win win! Enzo, FX and Edison were all individually brilliant! They move you up midweek if you improve and the spontaneous hot chocolates were an unexpected bonus! Will be back next year, thanks Oxygene!

We used the Oxygene Ski School in Val Thorens for kids and adults group classes. The classes were brilliant and we improved over the week. The instructors were patient and Francesco was amazing on the first day helping us all settle in. Our kids loved the classes and are keen to return next year. The kids still talk about their sessions and their instructors Enzo and Oscar.

I just got back from a ski trip, and wow, what a turnaround! I've always thought skiing wasn't for me after a pretty rough experience a few years back. But when my friends planned this January getaway, I was hesitant but decided to give it another shot. As soon as I arrived at the hotel, the receptionist mentioned this company called Oxygène . She raved about how they're a small business that genuinely cares for their clients, and I figured, why not trust her? So, I booked a class with Enzo, my instructor for the entire week. On the first day, we tackled a blue slope, and I was amazed at how much my confidence grew. By the end of that first class, I was actually conquering my fears! The second day was even better; I was already navigating blue slopes and starting to feel like a skier. Enzo was incredible—his support and encouragement made skiing feel effortless. Fast forward to the last day, and I found myself zooming down blue and red slopes with my friend, feeling like a pro! It's all thanks to Enzo’s tips and tricks that helped me build my confidence. I can't recommend him enough! If you're on the fence about skiing, give it a try, especially with someone like Enzo guiding you. You might just surprise yourself!

Booked a 4hr off piste guided lesson, our instructor was Daniele, and I can't rate this experience highly enough, everything was covered from general improvement of our techniques, off piste runs and equipment, plus some freestyle tips and lessons. So much time was taken to explain everything, and how it all effects the way you move the board. A lot of emphasis was put on the fact that this is a bidirectional sport and the improvements that can be made by being bidirectional, which really opened the idea up for more us. 11/10 top class day!

Amazing experience. Super approachable, professional, flexible and professional instructor. Really accommodating office staff. Both myself and my 12 year old son took private lessons. He was encouraged and pushed to grow in confidence, being able to go up and down the nursery slops and use the ‘magic carpets’ fully independently by then of the second lesson. Thank you Luca. Can’t wait to keep on learning next year!

The best ski school and instructors, I arrived as a really nervous absolute beginner and Milan taught me the essentials along with building my confidence. He adapted the lessons as I was progressing and was extremely patient. I can’t rate highly enough. I even booked more lessons throughout the week and I enjoyed them so much. Thanks Milan.

We were lucky to have Elian Leonhart as our guide on the EGSW hosted groups . He was very flexible, helpful and attentive to all the skiers needs and requests and the best guide I have had in over 10 years. Merci bien .

Very grateful for the service by max and Jeremy. Bought a pair of boots here, was thoroughly impressed by the level of detail that was put into getting a pair that I felt were the right fit for me. After a few days of skiing I had to get the boots readjusted and everything was perfect. They helped me massively with tips to get the boots on properly and how to solve the problems I faced. Thank you very much - they were amazing.

Highly recommend using Prosneige for lessons. We had 6 snowboarding lessons with Charly and absolutely loved them! He provided really clear instructions, tips and demos for beginners and made lessons fun and varied, too. He kept the motivation up when I was struggling which was really important for me! Great instructor

It's a great Team and amazing experience. In particular for the boot fitting guys. You're talking to experts. Follow their lead as they take you through how it should feel and what to expect between comfort and performance. I love my boots . Best skiing ever following this. Thanks again!

Superb experience getting new boots fitted by Jeremy. Incredibly efficient initial fitting in the morning, followed by adjustments that afternoon. 2 Moore dsys skiing on them and no more adjustments required.

We had the best ski 🎿 instructor this week!! Mathaiu (Matt) made learning so much fun! Improved our technique. Mixed it up with some off piste and improved our confidence on the steeper slopes. Thanks Matt - great job!! See you next year 👍 Charlie & Lisa

Amazing Ski School! Our family have had the best experience with Oxygene. Christelle taught our daughter to ski at 2 years old with both group and private lessons, Now she skis confidently on the blues at 3 years old. Christelle and lea make the ski lessons fun whilst prioritising safety. I had a adult private lesson with Morgan too which helped me rectify a few bad habits. 👏👍🏻

My daughter had 6 private lessons with Guillaume and it did not disappoint. The improvement and progression for her was remarkable with the 1-2-1 coaching. So much so we have booked the same again in April to continue her coaching with the same instructor

I took private lessons with Oxygen and it went very well! Big thank you to the instructor Alex, he helped to increase my confidence in skiing, as I am a beginner. It was the first time for me to go all the way down from the top of the mountain, amazing experience! As a big advantage was the free shuttle from Aime 2000 to the school.

I went skiing for the first time last week so joined the discovery group for 6 lessons. We had a fantastic experience with our ski instructor, François! He was incredibly patient and took the time to explain everything clearly, making sure both myself and my partner felt comfortable every step of the way. His friendly and encouraging approach made the lessons enjoyable, and we both made great progress. Highly recommend François for anyone looking to improve their skiing skills!

My children (14 and 16) had a fantastic week with Pierre in level 3 adults class. He was very enthusiastic and friendly, with perfect English and great teaching skills. The picnic he brought on the last day was highly appreciated by the group. I highly recommend Oxygene and Pierre for lessons in La Plagne

We booked private lessons for our two boys, ages 4 and 7, with Christelle. I was so nervous, particularly about leaving my youngest who can be a handful, but she was so reassuring and immediately had a great rapport with the children. I felt that the children were really safe in her hands. They progressed so much and they absolutely loved her! She also sent me lots of photos and videos of them in their lessons. We will definitely book again with Oxygène if we come back. We will request Christelle!

My first time skiing and I spent a week on the discovery lessons. Fab was a great ski instructor, who gave me the confidence and skills to head onto the slopes on my own. Would highly recommend.

The ski resort is very large and you can have fun regardless of your skiing level. There are also many hiking trails that allow for wonderful snowshoe hikes. The natural surroundings and views are fantastic.

Arguably one of the ugliest ski resorts in the French alps, however, this is in stark contrast to the excellent ski area, fast lifts and varied terrain. If you are an avid skier or snowboarder this is one of if not the best resort in the alps to visit.

This was my first time skiing in the Alps. I highly recommend this resort to all skiers ⛷️ and snowboarders. You will love the slopes, people, and food.

Great ski resort. The blue slopes are really nice, good lift access. Lots of restaurants but need more vegan options

Amazing ski resort! Several ski slopes and many possibilities for other activities. The bobsleigh descent is unforgettable.

Beautiful well designed apartments for skiers and walkers (depending on the season). Beautiful views of the mountains and lifts (depending on which side you're on I suppose). The apartments are compact but with 2 twin bedrooms, 2 bunks and a double sofa bed, with ease you could fit 8 people in ours. Galley style kitchen is best suited to one person cooking at a time so pre-plan to share the cooking duties if possible. Good extractor fan and each apartment is well appointed with plates and cutlery for 16 (2 meals a day) and a dishwasher as well as breakfast bowls and a host of utensils. We were only short a grater and a potato masher (apparently not French essentials). There a multiple lifts to various parts of the buildings as well as a lot of basement bootrooms/lockers to store your boots and skis and keep your apartment dry. The complex has a code entry to the pool, when you want access - daytime only (closes at 7) and no access on Saturday (change over day) with a new code each week. A 5 minute walk to the local Spar shop makes this a very convenient location with a Restaurant next door to the Spar as well as one opposite the entrance to Lagranges. The Ski and board hire shop is spitting distant from the complex check-in with convenient ski racks located around to stash your skis whilst you buy passes or snacks. The ski-pass system is very flexible at the resort with options for beginners being circa €35 a day, half day options, full resort passes, multi-resort passes and a pedestrian access pass to access the top of glacier via bubble lift for only €8! Superb. The resort is at 1800m so well above the snowline with easy access up to 3000m for fresher snow more often. Snowed again just as we left so if you're looking right now it's perfect for a last minute get away (9/01/23) enjoy! Back again for New Year 2024 - snowed every day so far and the trails are well groomed. Swimming Pool has been renovated as well as the wooden features across the resort.

Great ski resort especially if your using a motorhome parked right next to the main run back to La Plagne. Electric at the end of every row (which didnt trip once) and water is located at a hut at the entrance of site (short slippery walk). The while of thus network is mostly made up of about 70% blues 25% Reds and 5%blacks although many of the blues are more red like. Some great places to eat around the area but it is pricey.. €9-11 a pint !!! Food is around normally UK prices. The roads leading up the mountain to Villages was always mint ( the French know how todo it) the only time we had to put chains on was at the start of the aire as its not as well maintained as the main roads. I'd defo go back to this site and la plagne.

We had such an amazing experience today with Boris, James and all the team. Safe but so much fun. Really good instruction (in English too) If you’re looking for a brilliant white water rafting experience this is it. We had so much fun in the boat but also jumping in from 6 meters or less if you prefer, floating down the river and even a beer at the end. Brilliant day! Book it!

(Translated by Google) Great discovery of hydrospeed in a magnificent setting! Be careful, it's sometimes quite impressive with fairly strong currents where you can drink good cups and turn around 🌊. Our instructor (Elie) took the time to brief us well. Thank you again for the welcome from the whole team 👌🏻 (Original) Belle découverte de l’hydrospeed dans un cadre magnifique ! Attention c’est parfois assez impressionnant avec des courants assez costaud ou on peut boire des bonnes tasses et se retourner 🌊 . Notre moniteur (Elie) a pris le temps de nous bien nous briefer. Merci encore pour l’accueil de toute l’équipe 👌🏻

(Translated by Google) An incredible family moment accompanied by Louka, a great guide! We were amazed and experienced unique sensations throughout the entire journey!! Thank you for everything (Original) Un moment incroyable en famille accompagnés par Louka un super guide ! Nous en avons pris plein les yeux et des sensations uniques pendant tout le parcours !! Merci pour tout

(Translated by Google) Friendly atmosphere. Boris is the best! A cool, friendly guy who shares his passion. The joy of seeing chamois along our way and an eagle's nest. The little extras are a plus, much appreciated. A big thank you for this moment of pure pleasure! (Original) Ambiance conviviale. Boris au top! cool sympa, qui partage sa passion. La joie de voir des chamois sur notre chemin et un nid d'aigle. Les petits services sont un plus, très appréciable. Un grand Merci pour ce moment de pur plaisir !

(Translated by Google) I had a fantastic experience at this rafting club. The staff all radiate enthusiasm and passion, and they know how to convey this to their guests. Some staff members can speak English perfectly. Parking is free in the vast grounds of the swimming lake, including right in front of the rafting club. Yes, rafting is expensive everywhere, but it's a fantastic experience. You'll be rafting with about 8 people in a boat on a river with good speed. Definitely not boring and not too rough, so it's also perfect for children. Note that it's for ages 8 and up, but it would actually be better for ages 10 and up. This is due to the force of paddling and the fact that you can sometimes bounce quite a bit (but still manageable!). You'll receive plenty of instruction, and there's a short break along the way so you can jump off a rock or swim for a bit. Our instructor, who speaks excellent English, shared our enthusiasm and deserves a compliment. This club is highly recommended! Afterward, you can relax on the beach or in the grass by the swimming lake. (Original) Fantastische ervaring opgedaan bij deze rafting club. De medewerkers stralen allen van enthousiasme en passie en weten dit ook over te brengen op hun gasten. Er zijn enkele medewerkers die zich prima in het Engels verstaanbaar kunnen maken. Parkeer kun je gratis op het enorme terrein van het zwemmeer, dus ook voor de deur van de rafting club. Ja raften is overal prijzig maar een geweldige ervaring. Je gaat raften met ca 8 personen op een boot in een rivier met prima versnelling. Zeker niet saai en niet te wild, dus ook nog prima voor kinderen. Let wel, het is vanaf 8, maar zou eigenlijk vanaf 10 beter passen. Dit in verband met de kracht van peddelen en dat je soms toch aardig (maar prima te doen!) kunt stuiteren met de boot. Je krijgt voldoende uitleg en met neemt een korte pauze onderweg zodat je nog kunt springen vanaf een rots of kunt drijvend zwemmen een stukje. Onze, overigens prima Engels sprekende, instructeur nam ons mee in zijn enthousiasme en verdient een compliment. Deze club is een aanrader! Nadien kun je heerlijk vertoeven aan het strandje of in het gras bij het zwemmeer.

(Translated by Google) As a family with our two 12-year-old children We did the "sensational" trip with MARECH. The morning was great, with few people on the river, lots of excitement, and a very fun trip. The different guides we met were all super friendly. We had a great morning. (Original) En famille avec nos 2 enfants de 12 ans Nous avons fait la descente « sensation » avec MARECH. Le matin c’était top, peu de monde sur la rivière, beaucoup de sensations et une descente très Ludique. Les différents accompagnateurs que nous avons côtoyés étaient tous super sympa. Nous avons passé une très bonne matinée

(Translated by Google) After a bad rafting experience, I wanted to try it again with Rêve d'eau… And I did well! They were able to reassure me before and during the trip. We did the family trip as a group, and everyone was delighted with the outing. A rafting trip with magnificent sensations and scenery. A top-notch team, very professional and very friendly. I recommend it and… I'll be back! Thanks again! (Original) Après une mauvaise expérience en rafting, j’ai voulu retenté l’expérience avec Rêve d’eau…. Et j’ai bien fait! Ils s’ont su me rassurer avant et pendant la descente. Nous avons fait le parcours famille en groupe et tout le monde a été enchanté par cette sortie. Une descente en rafting avec des sensations et des paysages magnifiques. Une équipe au top, très pro et très sympathique. Je recommande et… je reviendrai ! Encore merci

We would like to thank Alexandre for the great adventure! He helped us really good. We spotted a beautiful chamois on the mountain. We could see him climb and eat the tree leaves. We had a swim and a great 5m high jump into the cold water. Thank you so much for those great memories that will stay forever. We love rafting, la douce france, kisses from Belgium

A truly exhilarating experience. Martin (ML), was our instructor and he could not have been more reassuring to those on the boat with less confidence and who were a bit apprehensive. He was highly knowledgeable of the water and made us all feel safe. On the rapid sections Martin used clear and concise commands which were easy to follow and on the calmer sections we enjoyed Martin’s local knowledge of the river ecosystem and history of the area. 5 stars all-round and highly recommend.

Such a great day!! Super easy to get to. Supplied everything we needed, boots, wetsuit and top with plenty of sizes. The guide Thibaut was wonderful speaking in English and French all whilst steering the raft. We did the “active” experience which involved some decent drops and splashes along the way.

Brilliant rafting down Les Gorge. Instructor Alexandre was absolutely excellent and made it incredible fun. We rafted down rapids, jumped off ledges and had some time floating down the river too. An excellent morning!

We spent half a day white water rafting with Evo2 in Landry a week ago and had an amazing experience. Very professional set-up and great instructors. ML was excellent and gave us full confidence and special mention to our instructor Myrtille who was brilliant, positive and fun. Myself and my 3 children (aged 10, 12, 14) had the best experience (including the cliff jumps!) and could not fault it. It was our highlight activity from a fun-packed week in Tignes. Thank you to all the staff. Would highly recommend.

Hydrospeed with Edouard was a super cool experience, we had a lot of fun, and we were in good hands. Organization was great, there is a friendly ambience at base too, 100/10 recommended. 🙌🏻 Thank you for the full team!

Fantastic setup. We got taken out today by ML who was fantastic with us the whole way through. Even happened to come across a Chamois deer. Thanks ML, see you at 1580

Amazing experience when you arrive at the third waterfall... 1.30 to 2 hours of hiking if you stop at each waterfall to take a photo :) The parking was a paid parking lot with 5 euros per day price but the machine was not working so no one paid! The bar was closed too when we arrived at the parking. But it was a wonderful experience.

Relatively easy walk to get to the falls, culminating with a quite spectacular bridge that crosses the water. It's worth closing the path down with the ring path so as to avoid doing the same way twice

Worth the hike to the third waterfall. Stunning views. Lots of places to stop and rest if needed. Options for looping back down the other side. Loved it

This trail, that crosses Rutor falls is just wonderful. Really astonishing, impressive and clean nature plus the hike is very easy. It crosses 3 falls and there are plenty options to go such as all the way up to Rifugio Albert Deffeyes. On this route after the amazing falls you will find a beautiful green and moist valley. After that, it goes up another 346 meters and you can have a great view to Mont Blanc and many glaciers and lakes near by. It's a very special hike in Aosta Valley. Absolutely recommended if you search for something technically feasible and a rich, fascinating environment as well.

One of the best footpath that you can do in La Thuile area, starting from la Joux the road is not so difficult, you don't need to be an expert climber but bring with you some water and a raincoat. The water shows is simply amazing especially at the 3rd waterfall. Recommended 👍👍👍

Really amazing. The falls are impressive. The hiking need to be prepared because is not so easy for the length and for the gradient. I suggest to take some water with you because till to the refuge is not possible to found any fountain. Take time to climb till the Deffeys refuge will pay you about the fatigue and the high gradient.

Incredible place after a good climb !

Absolutely great exciting fun, for children and adults too. All ages. You can choose your level of excitement and thrill, by increasing or decreasing the speed. No danger, you can never fall out the twister with the cart, so just go to the max!

Hold onto your mittens—this alpine adrenaline noodle will twist your soul into a pretzel and leave your cheeks wind-whipped from grinning. The Mountain Toboggan Twister is a gravity-defying, every bend feels like it was designed by a caffeinated mountain goat. One moment you’re cruising past postcard-perfect peaks, the next you’re spiraling like a snowflake in a blender.

An affordable ride, only 5.80€ for a double luge and other options of you want to ride more. Line moved relatively quickly and our kids loved it. Credit cards accepted.

Fun, like a sledge but on wheels, in a nice scenery. The 10 rides were used in minutes. Enjoy more in summer though

So much fun. People are so nice and in a good mood in this attraction ☺.

It went really fast, I felt excited ( by my son aged 5)

€6 per car, great fun.

The ski slopes in Chamonix lack mountain restaurants. The ones they have are expensive for what you get. Best to pack a picnic, drinks and snacks.

A ski domain snack bar/restaurant above a picnic room/bar (not open in summer) offering a selection of very tasty food. The service can be great... just not consistent.

Beautiful spot to get a coffee drink donut and sit relax for a rest.

Very quiet at this time of year but particularly due to Covid-19 restrictions.

Le Signal is the second bubble lift up the mountain and brings you out to a gateway of runs across the mountain. A good meeting point with a couple of nice places to get food and drink to fuel you up. Stunning views all round. Only downside is it does get busy but once you're on piste it's fabulous.

Super nice spot with great views back towatds mont blanc. Gondola is a touch slow - and is closed for lunch in summer - but definitely worth visiting. Nice walk up to col du joly - about 30 mins. Good spot to walk the dog. Not much shade but great open views

Everything you'd expect, expectedly pricey food. Bearable phone and WiFi available and plenty of space to put gear down. There's a huge sign that gives you up to date piste information too. Nearby is also the meeting point for a ski/snowboard instructor.

Fantastic, very touristy nowadays but there are still some hidden gems that are quiet but you’ll need a car to find them (one was through an industrial estate so very hidden). Restaurants are great and people very friendly

This would have been beautiful in the right weather. It was just our luck that we arrived in the height of Summer, at the end of a heatwave and were met with heavy rain and thunderstorms o the water didn't have its famous greenish-blue hue. It is a lovely natural beauty surrounded by mountains.

I was just remembering how much we loved it there last year. My son and I rented bikes and went all around the lake. We also got a pedal boat and took a swim. Saw some young people doing a rope swing jump and did that too. Fabulous.

I took a day trip from Lyon, a great place, I'm sorry I only stayed one day, it's definitely worth 2-3 days! A place not to be missed if you're in the area!

It is a MUST to go, partying, water scakating, swimming and lots of boat cruises around the great lake surrounded by magnificent mountains. 30 min away and your up amongst snowy mountains as early as September.

Absolutely breathtaking! The lake is crystal clear and surrounded by stunning mountains. Perfect for swimming, cycling, and relaxing. Annecy is truly a gem — Can’t wait to return

We love Annecy, always a good spot to relax and enjoy the nature! Great views and lovely people!

The ice cave is definitely worth a visit, The views are stunning, and the food is quite good and reasonably priced. If you plan to visit the ice cave, be sure to wear a jacket, as you may get wet.

A place where you can touch your imagination. Extraordinary spaces at your fingertips. A wonderful, one-of-a-kind place. Never the same.

Crowded but beautiful. Physically challenging, technically not so much. Still it's not a hike and you need mountaineering equipment!

Soaring above Mont Blanc 🏔️ with endless blue skies and snow-kissed peaks—pure magic for adventurers and dreamers! ✈️ #MontBlanc

Lovely day out . Beautiful place to visit. Stunning views. Although cable car is expensive and crowded.

The French Alps offer a breathtaking experience with towering peaks, charming villages, and unforgettable views. A cable car ride to Mount Blanc is magical, with a perfect blend of adventure and peace. Enjoy local treats like cheese cakes and beers at a restaurant on the first level. The view from the top is mind-blowing, making it a must-visit for skiing enthusiasts and nature lovers alike.

Beautiful mountain with cable car access over the massive from Italy to France.

It is a very impressive building, and the refurbishment of it is very impressive. Lots of history and at the moment has an art exhibition, which will please a lot of people, but I am afraid I am still old school. At 6.50 euros, it is great value. WC's are available in a couple of places, so no need to cross your legs. It's a shame they don't have rides to the top, from the market, but it was very hot, 31 degrees today. 20.06.25. A great visit, thank you 😊

There’s a fair few pieces of nice work in many mediums. I’m not so much of a fan of the modern artwork, but I loved a lot of the sculptures and landscape paintings. Much prefer the museum opposite.

It is worth the effort to walk up the short but steep hill to the chateau for the views alone but it was also worthwhile going inside. Lots of interesting art, both old and new (ish). It's a pretty cheap place to visit and you can go when it suits, no need to book ahead of time. We spent about an hour there which was more than enough. Takes about 10mins to walk there from the base of the hill on old town.

A must-visit in Annecy! ⭐️ Beautiful, historic, and very memorable! The castle offers stunning views of the lake and mountains, and the museum inside has a fascinating collection of regional art and history.

Great expectations… and disappointments to match As impressive as the castle looks from the outside, the visit itself was just as disappointing. I'll start with what I liked (because this list is way shorter than the one with the negative points): 1. The painting gallery, where you can admire several works (originals, according to the supervisors) by great painters, including a small painting by Fragonard and, most notably, "The Massacre of the Innocents" by Pieter Brueghel the Younger 2. The (temporary) exhibition "L’épopée burgonde" - the arrival and installation of the Burgundians in Haute-Savoie region 3. Behind the castle, there is a spot from which you can admire Lake Annecy surrounded by mountains What I didn’t like: 1. Most of the rooms in the main castle building are completely empty: no furniture, drawings, paintings, period clothing, weapons, courtly objects… nothing but cement and wood 2. An almost total lack of information — the organizers didn’t bother to put up even basic informative panels, so many tourists wandered around speculating: “this was probably where…” 3. Many areas inside the castle are not accessible to the public 4. The old shooting holes have been “completed” with modern windows, which not only spoil the charm of the building, but also prevent visitors from taking photos, as the glass is far from transparent 5. The modern art exhibition is absolutely ridiculous — in fact, it’s not art at all (I’ll upload a picture so you can judge the quality of these so-called “works”). On top of that, the exhibition takes up many rooms on the upper floor — so many that it felt like it would never end 6. The other two buildings of the complex host exhibitions that have nothing to do with a medieval castle; for example, one of them focuses on the fauna of the nearby lake and on fishing vessels… well, if I want to know more about the fish in the lake, I’ll go to a fish-farming museum or a natural science museum, right? 7. In the basement of one of the towers there are several tiny aquariums, poorly maintained and without plants for the animals to hide in; each contains a few unhappy fish swimming in endless circles 8. The crenels of the towers have also been covered with windows through which you can’t take pictures (in fact, you can’t even see properly). This is even more frustrating because some of these windows overlook the beautiful Lake Annecy 9. If you’re thinking of climbing the walls or the fortified gate, think again — access is prohibited 10. On top of everything, I stood in line for tickets for a very long time… and I really regret doing so. Final score: 2 stars, and those only for the art gallery (which could just as well have been housed elsewhere, not in a restored medieval castle) and for the exhibition dedicated to the Duchy of Burgundy. Without them, even one star would have been too generous.

A wonderful castle standing on a slightly higher point in Annecy. One of the steep hills brings you there (not too steep for a wheelchair apparently as Ive seen people go up with some help) Be sure to check it out, sometimes it even has expositions inside, also the view from the castle is excellent

Nice place to visit you can buy a multi ticket to also visit the old prison in town which takes about an hour then time for a coffee and then up the steep hill to the beautiful château. Lots to see very interesting.

A wonderful spot to admire the lake. The water is so clear and if you go early or is a very peaceful place. It is a very busy spot for locals exercising and tourists. It is very close to the old town so you should have no trouble walking there.

Beautiful place with a panoramic view towards the lake. You can also see people doing paddle. Breathtaking. But nothing to do but to take the photos and relax a big

If you’re in Annecy, a stop at the Pont des Amours is a must. Nestled between the peaceful waters of Lake Annecy and the tree-lined canals of the Jardins de l’Europe, this charming iron footbridge isn’t just a picturesque viewpoint — it’s steeped in legend and local romance. The name Bridge of Love is no accident. According to local lore, if two lovers kiss on the bridge, they’ll stay together forever. Whether or not you believe in the magic, the setting is undeniably dreamy: swans glide beneath you, the Alps rise in the background, and the lake sparkles under the sun.

Beautiful. Especially the wooden boat tide €17 per person for 30 minutes is awesome. Also the view from the bridge in itself is satisfying

Incredibly beautiful bridge with stunning views. Perfect photo spot

Very crowded area filled with passive aggressive couples trying to snap fake kisses for their boring Insta pages. The surrounding area around is much better: parks, icecream vendors, boat rental

Romantic spot with stunning views! 🫶🏻

The office de tourisme is easy to access from the SNCF station and the staff was very kind, they could speak English, so our bad french wasnt a problem. I loved the recommended parcours, there were two to choose from and we ended up mixing the two. Annecy is not overrated at all, it's a beautiful town, with old buildings, castles, churches and the amazing, cristal clear lake, everywhere you look is a feast for the eyes. We went on a national holiday and on top of that, there was a volleyball championship and an animation event going on, so there were lots of people outside the normal tourists, I assume. Don't miss on the château de Menthon Saint Bernard! It's a bit far, but easy to access from the bus line. The only thing is that there were fewer buses circulating, since it was a holiday. We couldn't get in the castle due to the time, but even the entry for the gardens was worth it, the scenery is simply amazing. I'd recommend at least 2 days in Annecy if you want to see the museums and everything else. We went only on a day trip from Lyon and it was enough for the Tour around town, but we couldn't get into any museums due to the time, which was a shame.

Visually impressive town. Beautiful lakes, canals and waterways. Most shopkeepers act as tourist guides and I tell you that the fast moving waters of the canals are fed by glaciers. Massive array of restaurants to eat from... real provincial authentic french food. Not that expensive if you are using euros, any other currency, and it starts to get very pricey. You need at least 3 days here to look at Lakeside beaches, castles, canals. Mountains and it's all centered around Annecy Lake. We were lucky enough to go on the most auspicious day of the year. Much celebration and finished in the evening with an hour and a half fireworks display. A must go to secret.

Wrong people manning the post. I asked 2 questions to a young lady manning the counter 1. Where is the lift to carpark? 2. How can I get parking package? She directed me to the wrong direction for the lift and make me walked to another building to purchase the parking package. I was told to go back where I parked and package can be purchase at the ticket machine. Simple steps but she don't know any of it. Or she simply dislike tourists. Wasted time just because of her.

Large office space with at least 4 employees taking care of tourists. I guess it depends on the member pf the staff you get, the service you get. First lady was in a rush, provided some incomplete information regarding walking trails and how to get there. Had to go back and second person was a little more thorough. Ended up walking a short trail far from the city, would have been better to walk along the lake closer to the city center.

A really great place to find out everything about Annecy! The staff gave us fantastic advice on what to visit and what to see around the area. We were looking for recommendations for a nice spa with an outdoor pool, and they suggested an amazing place we couldn’t even find online! If you’re wondering what to do next or looking for hidden gems, definitely stop by and ask for their recommendations. The staff were extremely friendly, welcoming, and super knowledgeable. Highly recommended!

I want to express my deepest gratitude to the Annecy Tourism Office for their outstanding support during my visit. Unfortunately, I discovered upon arrival that the hotel reservation I had made was a scam. It was a very stressful moment, but the team at the tourism office stepped in with such kindness, professionalism, and genuine care. They not only reassured me but also quickly helped me find safe and comfortable new accommodations. Their knowledge, efficiency, and compassion turned what could have been a disastrous experience into one where I felt truly supported and looked after. Thank you to the entire team - especially the young woman who directly helped- for embodying excellence in customer service and for showing such warmth to a traveler in need. Your assistance made all the difference and left me with the best impression of Annecy and its wonderful people.

Fantastic tourist office, staff were so very helpful and friendly the young lady who answered all our queries was an Australian based in Annecy and her knowledge was excellent .. thank you heaps

Just out of this world experience. The views are absolutely stunning. The facilities are amazing considering the height. Multiple decks for panoramic views. Do keep in mind that the oxygen level will be low and some might feel a bit dizzy. Once in a life time experience,

Your amazing ride starts in the center of chamonix, there you will take the most thrilling cable car ride if you life. With the best views, grass that turns u to snow, and trees that turn into massive cliffs. Aguille du midi is a must for everyone. The views at the top are truly out of this world and make you seem so small. Would recommend to everyone visiting chamonix. Give out of five stars

Excellent view of the Alps from here. We were fortunate that the sky were clear. The view is better than the one we experienced in Jungfraujoch.

Wow!!! Just stunning. Exceptional views 360. Will do again. Review will not do any justice. You just have to go. Nice cafe as well. Stairs from elevator to cafe was a bit of a drag in the thin air. Wife’s lips turned purple from lack of oxygen. Be aware of the signs.

Absolutely astonishing views from the top. A must visit location in Chamonix!! It's pricey but worth each cent. Turnaround ticket for adult is 95€. Check the webcam before to make sure that it is sunny on the top as the weather differs alot and clouds in the valley do not mean clouds on top.

Incredible view . The beauty is breathtaking. You can see the highest peak in Europe from afar. Many people paragliding here. It is a must-visit place in life.

The cable bus from the Chamonix city with a change over in between takes you to the peak of Aiguille du Midi. This peak is exactly in the border of France and Italy. A 20 minutes journey of ten each takes you to the peak. To see the mont blanc, you have to take a pass like temporary visa to the italian side and from the peak to which a lift is taking you, you can see the mont blanc. There is also a glass cage with dead drop bottom. The view from the top is magnificient. It takes you to the view of entire iced surroundings. The mont blanc is the highest peak of Alps. More famous for limited edition pen. They are allowing a total of 2 and half hours to see and come back. On a sunny day, the views are beautiful. The climate is sometimes minus in the peak

This was great, fantastic views, really enjoyed the trip. We bought a 4 day advance ticket from tourist office for all local ski lifts for best value. We also walked on the path to the next ski lift La Paz, a medium challenging walk also with amazing views.

Highly recommended if hiking is main objective. We went upto Planplaz and then hiked to and from La Flegere. It too about 4 and half hours. Could take shorter or longer depending on fitness. One can go up and then take the stairs lift down to Le Praz or vice versa. Hiking or taking the cable car to Brevent is also an option.

Amazing experience we had to book the time slot to visit Mt Brevent the cable car was something else amazing engineering skills and design to carry people up to areas that are totally unreachable to most. Best Day for a long time

Great view. It is worthy to jump off and hike from the top lift Brevent to the middle lift. It takes around 1 hour to hike including the picture time and coffee break.

If you have multipass, you can use this cable lift for free...You have to change lift in half of your way up to top, where is restaurant with breathtaking view to Mont Blanc and nearby mountains...Above restaurant is another place with 360 degree breathtaking views...

Google map info about the cable car stations around Chamonix sometimes could be confusing. This is the station to Le Brevent. Not very crowded during UTMB period in late August. I bought a Multi pass and rode immediately.

We’ve never had much luck with the Aiguille du Midi, either poor weather with no visibility or fully booked on the clear days. This lift proved to be an excellent alternative, with breathtaking views of the Mont Blanc range. From the summit, you don’t just get the Mont Blanc panorama but also, on a clear day you can see all the way to the Chartreuse near Grenoble and Chambéry. It’s not as high as the Aiguille du Midi (only 2525m), but it’s still a fantastic experience and well worth the trip. There are auberges at both stops for food or drinks, and watching the paragliders take off adds to the atmosphere.

Amazing place perfect set up to enjoyed the slopes

Very nice experience, me and the kids enjoyed it. But it's really really hot inside the cabin, it would be better if it had more windows or A/C

Bought a 10 day pass for my son (who has basically spent his entire holiday in the bike park) because the attendant very helpfully suggested that it was a more economic option than buying daily passes

Great ski lockers, fast lift and plenty of parking. Would recommend for a place to start a day's skiing.

Very nice place.

Need to advertise there ski lockers more widely! Great facilities which saves a journey on the bus/ or walking across the village with heavy skis.

Good, fast lift, accessible toilets at the bottom and picnic room and toilets at the top, no queues for the majority of the time. Direct access from Les Carroz village to the rest of Le Grand Massif ski area.

If you’re in Geneva, this is a great place to visit! The view is amazing and you can see all of Geneva from above. We went up the mountain on the cable car, if you have a Swiss pass or a student you can get a discount. You may also choose to hike up or down the mountain. On the level you will exit the cable car on, there’s a cafe, gift shop, interactive activities, bathrooms and an outside area. From this outside area, you may choose to hike further up the mountain or explore the area, there are some restaurants a short hike from this area. The cafe has coffee, alcoholic beverages, soft drinks, baked goods, pastries, sandwiches and small bites. There’s an indoor sitting area with couches and table and chairs. You can sit, have a coffee and admire the view in the warmth of the cafe. There’s gift shop has some cute things for purchase such as key rings, candles, keepsakes, pens, stuffed animals etc. They also offer a disposable ash tray and alcohol wipes for free. If you choose to stay on the Saleve facility, there is a lift and stairs to go up to the other levels/facilities. There’s an outdoor 360 platform on the top level where the view is even more amazing, your head will literally be in the clouds! You will need to scan your ticket from the cable car to access it. On the middle level there is a restaurant and conference rooms. The restaurant offers a ‘menu’ which is a set menu where you can choose between 2 options for each course. It was fully booked so we were unable to try it but it was surprisingly reasonably priced! To go back down, the cable car runs every 15 minutes. This is the second time we’ve done this!

I took dog with me. We enjoyed the Landscape enormesly. Paths and that's are bit worn so good shoes are necessary. Views are breathtaking.

Some decent viewpoints on top. The hike from all the way down to the top was a bit disappointing. Paths on southern side was not very nice and some trash lying around here and there. The more popular path, on the side of the cable cart was a bit better. The hike from Mornex was 2 hrs up and 1:15 down, about 800 m elevation in total. I didn't like that there are roads and private areas everywhere all the way to the top.

A short walk across the French border is a mountain frequented by locals of Geneva. We were afraid of going to Mont Blanc because of the altitude. It was a great trip!

Loved it. Hiked alone for 6 hours on May 23 - views were magnificent

A great spot for scenic panoramic views of Geneva and of the Alps. From Geneva you can get a local bus to the French border, walk a short distance to the cable car which will take you to the top of the mountain, and you can trek the short distance the rest of the way along the mountain to its highest point. It’s also possible to tandem paraglide down off the mountain if you organise it in advance, definitely worth doing

Outstanding experience hiking your way up the Salève. You will be exposed to marvellous landscapes and enjoying the vibrating and diversified nature. The path is well maintained and offers different possibilities. Breath the clear air and enjoy the day. Definitely recommended 👌.

The place is really beautiful, especially the flaine side. Amazing, with those views to Mont Blanc. Nice runs, if the snow is good then the ski experience is top. There were lots of people in the first week of march but we didn't have to wait for more than 5 min in any lift. Lifts are a bit slow I would say, but not a big deal. I really recommend this resort. Attached is a video of a black run, really fun (there is tons of blue runs also for a chilly ski)

Nice easy access to telecabine up to main ski area. Quite a lot of other lifts closed when I was there due to wind which cuts off access to the wider skiing areas of Flaine and makes return to Samöens difficult. However there is an excellent free bus service if you get stuck at other areas such as Morillon. So no need to panic!

Amazing place to spend your days. A bit crowded on holidays, but there's still a lot space to play.

We stayed with our family in Samoëns in August. A lovely town with lots going on in the summer. A very good market and a lake nearby with lots to do. The views alone are worth a visit and the mountains are all around you. Trips to Geneva and Chamonix are possible as well as nearer attractions. Lots of walks locally too.

The slopes were fantastic. It was icy initially but it snowed heavy for 2 days and made the skiing conditions great. Can walk out of the club med hotel and onto the slopes. Brilliant

What a gem this place is. Stayed in Les Carroz, but also skied Flaine. Would highly recommend it for new to intermediate skiers. I'm hoping to be lucky enough to visit again in the future.

Great resort for all abilities, close to Geneva and easily accessible via car or public transport. Ski canons provide snow coverage even in the worst of seasons. A number of ski touring routes are now open in all villages which are great. Also very family friendly resort with under 8 year olds ski for free!

If you're looking for a unique museum experience that's different from the usual, this place is a must-visit! It's an officially recognized museum with an incredible collection of antique clocks and timepieces, some of which date back to ancient centuries. The amount of detail and history behind each piece is truly fascinating. What makes the visit even more enjoyable is the interactive tour provided via iPads, available in English, French, and German. The guided tour is super informative and really brings the museum to life. The feeling you get while walking through the exhibits is like being transported back in time. Each clock, each antique, tells a story. It's more than just a museum — it's a time-travel experience! Highly recommended for history lovers, clock enthusiasts, or anyone looking for something special and different to do.

When in Geneva, Switzerland, visiting the Patek Philippe museum is a must. Unfortunately, I visited with a bus tour and not everybody wanted to come in so I had to rush. I only had one hour but I saw the most amazing beautiful watches in my life. I bought tickets two weeks prior to this visit to cut down on wait time, and I also watched an interview on line with the director of the museum that was most interesting. I concentrated on the second floor that houses an incredible antiques collection, and then the first floor that displays the beautiful Patek Philippe collection. On the ground floor there is a wonderful display of watchmakers workbenches as well as a reception and security desk, and you can get a token for the lockers in the basement. You have to lock up any backpacks or any baggage in a locker. Or it will cost you 2 CHF but you get it back when you take your stuff out. There is also a restroom by the locker room.

An amazing experience! The visit offered a deep dive into the fascinating history of the Patek Philippe brand and how it all began. Even without a guided tour, the museum is wonderfully organized and easy to follow, allowing visitors to explore at their own pace. Each floor presents a different chapter in the evolution of watchmaking — from the earliest pocket watches and intricate mechanisms to the modern masterpieces that define Swiss precision and luxury. The collection truly highlights the innovation, craftsmanship, and artistic beauty that Patek Philippe brought to the world of watches. A must-visit for anyone coming to Geneva — even if you’re not a watch expert, you’ll leave inspired and impressed by the legacy of this remarkable brand.

A Must-Visit for Every Watch Lover! If you’re into watches, this place is an absolute must! Start from the 3rd floor and work your way down — the collection is unbelievable. You get to see everything from early timepieces to stunning modern masterpieces, all beautifully displayed. The museum is really well organized, and you can feel the history and craftsmanship in every piece. Even if you’re not a hardcore collector, it’s still super interesting and worth the visit. Definitely one of the highlights of Geneva for anyone who appreciates fine watches!

Fascinating museum filled with multiple floors of incredible time-piece history. I reserved the day before and spent a little over an hour wondering around in awe of the displays. They provide complimentary self-guided tours with a tablet and headphones to learn about the collections. Upon arrival large bags must be stored in the lower floor lockers.

You could easily spend a whole afternoon in this beautiful museum even if you are not a watch enthusiast. The exhibition starts on the 3rd floor with a library and some enamel miniature portraits, continues on the 2nd floor with the Antique Collection that displays watches from 1500 to 1850 and it ends on the 1st floor with the Patek Philippe Colletion, that comprises the most iconic watches of the Swiss watchmaker from its foundation in 1839. The ticket costs only 10 CHF and they give you also a tablet as audioguide.

What a nice discovery. I am not so keen on watches, but visiting Patek Philippe Museum was an amazing experience. I saw all sorts of watches from around the world and impressed by the arts crafts skills watch makers have had over the centuries. But what I liked the most was seeing the patents showcased in the Museum and the Patek's will for his children as these reminded me about why I do certain kinds of works.

Impressive cathedral in the old town area with lots of period buildings around it. On a bit of a raised area but an easy walk up. Quiet, peaceful, can sit for as long as one likes. Free to enter, as it should be, but is not in some places. Different parts obviously built/added/repaired/rebuilt at different times, which is always interesting. Well worth a visit.

Undoubtedly, this is a majestic cathedral in the heart of Geneva, with stunning Gothic architecture and a historic stone façade. The church is very well preserved, and from its current state, you can almost imagine the grandeur it must have had 1,000 years ago. Inside, the serene atmosphere, detailed sculptures, and beautiful architectural features make it a remarkable place to explore. A must-visit for anyone interested in history or architecture.

Visiting St. Pierre Cathedral in Geneva was truly memorable. One of the highlights for me was climbing the 160 steps to the top of the tower. The stairwell is narrow and may be a little intimidating for some, but the effort is completely worth it. Once at the top, you’re rewarded with stunning panoramic views of Geneva and the surrounding area—perfect for photography enthusiasts. The cathedral also has a small shop where you can browse a selection of cards and postcards as a memento of your visit. Inside and out, the cathedral offers plenty of opportunities for taking beautiful photos, from its impressive architecture to the breathtaking vistas from the tower. Despite the slightly nerve-wracking climb, it’s an experience I’d highly recommend.

This cathedral is a highlight located in the center of Geneva's old town. The top offers a great view over the city and the lake. I recommend combining a visit with a walk to the beautiful nearby square "Place-Du-Bourg-de-Four" (my favourite place in old town). Take a break there for a snack and a drink. Enjoy!

I always try to visit at least one church during my travels, though sometimes it doesn’t work out. I’m so glad I made it to this cathedral—it was actually one of the reasons I wanted to visit Geneva in the first place. I’d heard about the 157-step spiral staircase, and let’s just say I realized how out of shape I was while climbing it! But I made it, and it was absolutely worth it. Such a beautiful piece of history to experience. The fee to go up is currently at 7chp.

The "Nothing to Photograph in ..." series has made its way to Cathédrale Saint-Pierre Genève, highlighting its serene interior and breathtaking views from the towers. I highly recommend exploring this historic gem. Follow me to discover your next destination.

Excellent 360° views of the city, lake & mountains. The stairs were in a very good condition compared to other church towers in Europe. The entrance price was included in our tourist city pass so it's a very much worthwhile visit.

Visiting L’Horloge Fleurie in Geneva was a wonderful experience! The flower clock is truly a masterpiece of art and nature combined. The design is beautiful, colorful, and always perfectly maintained. It’s located in a lovely park near the lake, making it a great spot for a relaxing walk or taking amazing photos. The flowers change with the seasons, so it always looks different and fresh every time you visit. It’s one of the most iconic landmarks in Geneva and a must-see for anyone visiting the city. A peaceful and charming place that perfectly represents Swiss precision and beauty.

The L’Horloge Fleurie (Geneva Flower Clock) is one of the city’s most charming landmarks, perfectly combining Swiss precision with natural beauty. Located in the English Garden (Jardin Anglais), the clock faces the main road, making it easily accessible as you stroll through the park or along the lakeside, close to the Jet d'Eau. What makes it special, is that the flowers change with every season. The city’s gardeners carefully redesign it throughout the year, ensuring it always reflects the colours and mood of the time — from bright spring tulips to autumn blooms with hundreds of seasonal flowers. Although it’s a popular attraction, it’s best to visit on a dull or overcast day when there are fewer tourists. That’s when you can truly appreciate the clock’s detail and take unobstructed photos without the usual crowds. The clock was created in 1955 as a tribute to Geneva’s long-standing tradition of watchmaking. Beneath the floral design lies a fully functional timepiece, powered by Swiss engineering and precision, symbolising the city’s harmony between nature and technology. It truly is a must-see — a living symbol of Geneva’s elegance, craftsmanship, and love of beauty.

This is one of the nice places you can visit and have your photo captured, having a beautiful memory that you've been to Geneva. I would recommend the sunset, where you can take a ride in the wheel to have glance at the beautiful view of seeing over the water and the city with pretty greenery. Feels like a illustration be Angelo himself. During the night the flower clock is well lit up and captures well, and a beautiful park being next to it, you can relax and enjoy the surrounding altogether as well. Very beautiful and calm place al together. (Don't forget to have glance at the memorial statues in vicinity as well)

I had a wonderful visit to L'Horloge Fleurie! 🌸 The flower clock was absolutely charming and so lovely to admire. 🤩 It's such a unique and delightful attraction, truly a beautiful sight. 🕰️ I thoroughly enjoyed my time here! 😊

L’Horloge Fleurie is one of Geneva’s most iconic landmarks. A must-see, especially considering Switzerland’s deep tradition of watchmaking – and in Geneva you’ll notice watches on every corner. The floral clock perfectly combines Swiss precision with natural beauty.

It is one of the most beautiful places in Geneva, with sunshine, the lake, possibly the tallest fountain in Central Europe, ferries, statues, and a Ferris wheel — it has everything, simply perfect.

I have seen many creative floral installations before, including floral sculptures and other well-known flower clocks. However, when I finally visited Geneva’s famous L’Horloge Fleurie (Flower Clock), I experienced a slight sense of disappointment - not because it lacks beauty, but rather because its reputation is so grand that it naturally raises expectations. To be fair, the clock’s design is intricate, and the vibrant flowers give it a sense of energy and elegance. Yet in reality, it is smaller in scale than I had imagined, which may feel a little underwhelming if one visits only for this landmark. We visited on a Saturday afternoon, there were only a few tourists around, which made the experience calm but also highlighted how modest the Flower Clock actually is. That said, if you see it as part of a leisurely walk along Lake Geneva, passing by after a meal or while enjoying the lakeside scenery, it can still be a pleasant and relaxing stop.

Great value for six people very reasonable Enjoy the restaurant, good n easy. Nice Swiss feel.

Dinner with team after congres day. 2 had filets de perche this fish filets were baked with a tartare sauce nothing to have a waw feeling. 1 penne ciocarna ( see picture) also no real wow effect missong of spices and 1 spaghetti fruits de mer seems was ok. white swiss wine could be better. Service 2 people avetage. Thats why give a 3

Really good pizza, I recommend the « jet d’eau pizza » Only bad fact is that the crust was too thin.

Staff were really friendly and accommodating despite a language barrier. I was even given a free salad! Food was some of the best me and my friends have ever had and is well priced. The restaurant atmosphere was incredible as well. We all agreed we would absolutely eat here again 👍

Had a wonderful lunch here! The waiters were very friendly, and the food was delicious and served quickly :) Very generous toppings on the pizza!

I am travelling for work. Great food and even better people. Seems like a family owned business. I had the pugliese pizza and was amazing. But hey!! Be careful with the spicy oil they offer 🥵very hot

The food was delicious and the waiters really helpful to translate to English for us. They even had a English menu. The place was warm and the pizza oven in the heart of the restaurant. It felt like an authentic Italian family business.
