Montévers Railway

The Montévers Railway is a historic rack railway in Chamonix, France, built in 1908. It transports visitors up to the Montenvers train station near the Mer de Glace glacier. Using a cogwheel system, it efficiently climbs steep slopes that regular trains cannot handle. The railway offers breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and glacier. It's a popular route for tourists wanting to explore the Alps and access the Mer de Glace, one of Europe's largest glaciers. The train's nostalgic charm and scenic journey make it a notable part of Chamonix's mountain experience.
