Cime Caron
Cime de Caron
A 3,195-meter lookout peak in Val Thorens, reached directly by a large cable car, with a 360-degree view of Mont Blanc, the Écrins and the Vanoise peaks.
Cime Caron is the highest cable-car lookout in Les 3 Vallées. A large 150-person cable car takes about 5 minutes to reach the 3,195-meter summit platform. On clear days you can see Mont Blanc, the Écrins massif, the Vanoise glaciers and peaks on the Italian side. Skiers ski down black and red runs from here, and visitors who are not skiing can buy a sightseeing ticket for a round trip. It is open only during some periods in summer. The summit is very cold, so bring warm clothing.
Opening hours
