The bar des glaciers

Would you like to cool off after a descent of the Vallée Blanche or regain your strength after a long hike?
The Bar des Glaciers is a must-see break before heading back down to Chamonix.

At any time of the day, indulge in our sandwiches or succumb to our selection of the day, while reliving the highlights of your excursion while waiting for the famous red train.

Open every day according to the Montenvers train schedule.
