Upon reaching Chamonix, ascend to new heights as you venture towards the legendary Aiguille du Midi, a rocky peak standing proud at 12,604 ft. In a mere 20 minutes, a two-stage cable car will whisk you away on an aerial voyage. Behold a unique panorama encompassing the Chamonix Valley and the magnificent peaks of the French, Swiss, and Italian Alps.

Arrive at the Piton Nord, a gateway boasting an arrival and departure station, a cozy cafeteria, a souvenir shop, and a terrace offering an unrivaled view of Chamonix from above. Explore the Piton Central, featuring the Mont-Blanc gallery, and a summit terrace that stands at the pinnacle of 3,842 meters. Discover the icy wonders of Mer de Glace, the magnificent 7km French glacier. A charming little red train will take you to the Montenvers at 1,913 meters as prestigious summits like les Drus, Les Grandes Jorasses, and Les Grands Charmoz surround you.
