Panoramic Mont-Blanc Gondola
Télécabine Panoramic Mont-Blanc
A small cable car that runs from the Aiguille du Midi across the Vallée Blanche to Punta Helbronner in Italy, celebrated as one of the most spectacular aerial routes in the world.
The Panoramic Mont-Blanc Gondola opened in 1958 and links the Aiguille du Midi with the Punta Helbronner (3,466 metres) on the Italian side. It is about 5 kilometres long, and its four-person cabins move slowly for about 35 minutes, suspended above the Vallée Blanche and the Géant Glacier, with crevasses and climbers far below. At Punta Helbronner you can transfer to the Skyway Monte Bianco cable car, descending to Courmayeur, making it possible to cross the border in a single day. It only operates in summer in good weather and stops in strong winds. Tickets are purchased separately, and you must carry your passport.
