Having arrived in Chamonix with more time than I planned, I ended up doing all the tourist stuff I could handle. The cable car ride to the observation deck near the summit of Mont Blanc and the glacier tour was enjoyable. I have reservations about recommending the glacier tour, which seemed like a tourist trap and isn't more than a 2 minute walk along a man made horse shoe cave into a once impressive glacier. The pinnacle of the tour is at the crux of the tunnel when you meet a couple individuals selling pictures with a giant Saint Bernard dog for six euros.
