Musee des Cristaux (Crystal Museum)
Exhibiting an impressive collection of crystals, mostly from Chamonix, but also from the rest of the Alps and worldwide. Created and maintained through a partnership between the city council and the local Mineralogical club, it is both very aesthetic and scientific, displaying pedagogical posters. Found just behind the Maison de la Montagne and the church.

Tour Noir
Impressively scenic ski journey across the Argentiere Glacier with some of the Alpine Giants North Faces looming above. The tour is pleasant and fairly straightforward but is entirely glacial and, in good conditions, can be combined with an exciting traversing descent from the Grand Monets top ski station.
