Dear clients & partners,
 
The preparatory work to change the cable on the second section of the Aiguille du Midi cable-cars continues apace.
 
The company entrusted with the manufacture of the replacement cable has informed us that they are able bring forward its delivery to next week which means that the manoeuvres may begin that much earlier.
In order to offer the best chances to re-open the Aiguille du cable-cars on 7^th July, the first cable-car, Chamonix – Plan de l’Aiguille, will close this Sunday evening, 10^th June 2018.
 
The team spirit that reigns within the Compagnie du Mont-Blanc has been put to good use to bring forward the opening of the Planpraz gondola to Tuesday 12^th in order to offer our clients a strategic panorama of the Mont-Blanc range.

Chamonix June 3rd 2018

Dear Clients & Partners,
 
A conclusive repair followed by a very advanced expertise allowed us to reopen the Aiguille du Midi cable car for the weekend. This reopening happened after several days of closure following anomalies detected on the cable of the second stretch between the Plan de l'Aiguille and the Aiguille du Midi. As a reminder, this cable was completely changed in the autumn 2017.
 
Our technical teams remained extremely vigilant and conducted cable checks throughout the weekend.
 
Early evening and after the last check, we noticed a new minor default on another part of the cable. Safety being the number one priority of the Compagnie du Mont Blanc, we decided to close the operation for a complete change of this cable.
 
- The 2nd section cable car Plan de l'Aiguille - Aiguille du Midi will be closed to customers from tomorrow morning, Monday, June 4^th onwards.
 
- The 1st section cable car Chamonix - Plan de l'Aiguille will remain open to visitors and climbers until Sunday, June 17th at night and then closed to carry out the change of the cable.
 
The operation will then resume entirely on both sections, from Chamonix to the summit of the Aiguille du Midi on saturday, July 7, 2018 in the morning.
 
In the meantime, the other sites and areas of the valley will open to the public from June 16^th  in the morning.
 
Les Grands Montets, meanwhile, will open on June 23^rd in the morning.
 
We would like to apologies for the inconvenience caused and will keep you informed.
