Chamonix over the Alps to La Palud

[Feard]

First time poster and would appreciate any help.

Has anyone done the trip from Chamonix over the Alps to La Palud? I hear the scenery is great.

- Is this trip possible in one day/how long would it take?

- How expensive would it be?

I read about the trip in Rick Steves' guidebook and would like to obtain some additional information.

I am attempting to go from Paris to Cinque Terre and I thought that a day trip in the Alps would be a great stop. Any other destinations between Paris and Cinque Terre that someone would advise. I know it's there's a lot of distance between the two.


Thanks for your help in advance.
