French Alps and Lyon

Video Description

Rick Steves' Europe Travel Guide © 2020 | After exploring the proud cuisine capital of Lyon — which, at least in its own mind, rivals Paris — we head for Chamonix, in the shadow of western Europe’s tallest peak: Mont Blanc. With the classic alpine resort as our springboard, we make some high-altitude cheese, then ride the lift up to the Aiguille du Midi and over to the border of Italy. And we hike the Tour du Mont Blanc — the trail that circles that iconic mountain. #ricksteves #ricksteveseurope #frenchalps Visit http://www.ricksteves.com for more information about these destinations and other destinations in Europe.
