9. Chamonix and Aravis Massif private tour from Annecy

A full-day guidedprivate tour focusing on the Aravis massif and Chamonix, including a Savoyard lunch and cheese tasting.

“We have traveled extensively across various continents, yet this tour stands out as truly exceptional. The weather was perfect for our late spring excursion. The highlight was a stunning cheese farm perched above the Aravis Valley, where the views were enchanting. We found the cheese-making process to be fascinating, as the kind owners guided us through each step, starting with a visit to the cows in the field. They craft three traditional types of cheese, which we got to taste along with lovely wine and great company. Afterward, we headed to Chamonix for lunch and a tour. At Restaurant le Monchu, we enjoyed delicious Savoyard dishes like fondue, brasserie meals, and exquisite soups and salads. Our guide, Bernadette, was both knowledgeable and pleasant. She was determined to help us catch a glimpse of Mt. Blanc by waiting for the clouds to clear, allowing us to capture the ideal photo. Chamonix itself is charming, with a rich history that enhances the overall experience. Lastly, Lionel, our guide, graciously led us through these remarkable sites and made the day enjoyable. We liked him so much that we decided to hire him again the next day to visit the Gorge de Fier, which we highly recommend. Don't miss out on this tour! Working with 1786.Travel was a pleasure, and their communication was efficient and comprehensive.”— Christine T
