What to expect
Download the Trippy Tour Guide app beforehand and follow numbered pins around town. Each stop triggers audio commentary—expect 2–3 minutes of narration per location, leaving you time to linger or move on. You'll weave through older quarters, pause at viewpoints framing Mont Blanc, and hear tales of local climbers and mountain culture. The route flows logically but never feels rushed; the offline map keeps you oriented even in spotty signal zones. Most stops are street-level; some involve minor climbs but nothing strenuous.
Good to know
Load the app and map before departure. Wear comfortable walking shoes for uneven cobbles. Spring through autumn offers the best weather and clearest Alpine views. The tour skips the Maison de la Mémoire museum (separate €4 entry) but covers its stories. Public transport links exist nearby if you need a break.
