Map and real-time info
Europe’s highest cable car
From the centre of Chamonix, a 20 minutes ride in the Aiguille du Midi cable car takes you to the gateway to the high Alps at a height of 3,842 m.
From its height of 3,777m, the Aiguille du Midi and its laid-out terraces offer a 360° view of all the French, Swiss and Italian Alps. A lift brings you to the summit terrace at 3,842m, where you will have a clear view of Mont Blanc.
New from Summer 2012, discover the renovation and improvement of the site.
With this thought in mind a new project was launched to improve the visitor experience to the heart of the Aiguille du Midi; improvements are being made in terms of accessibility, facilities will be upgraded, information will be more readily available and the history and heritage of the location will be brought to life.
The visit takes 2 to 3 hours, including the travel time. NB: This time may be doubled if there are a lot of visitors.
A cafeteria and a souvenir shop are open all year round. In the summer, the "3842m" restaurant invites you to taste Savoie culinary specialities in a unique setting.
Once at the top, do not miss the gondola lift ride over the Glacier du Géant to the Pointe Helbronner in Italy.
The cable car ride between Chamonix and Aiguille du Midi is in two stages. At the intermediate stop, at a height of 2,310m, the Plan de l'Aiguille is the departure point for the Balcon Nord hike to the Montenvers site. Food and refreshments are available at lunch-time at the Refuge du Plan, 5 minutes’ walk away. A very pleasant break in the mountains !
