We rode from Grindelwald to Chamonix and it was a ride worth doing. After the disappointment of the cable car breaking down and not going up Mont Blanc we decided to go through the tunnel to do the St Bernard pass. After the shock of the 27 euro toll we found the St Bernard was closed and it was a huge detour to get to Barcelonnette, so it's worth checking what passes are blocked before heading off. We went back through the tunnel to Chamonix (we were able to get a return ticket price), and started fresh the next day.
