An outstanding site
From Chamonix (1035 m), soar over the forest to reach the Plan de l’Aiguille (2317 m). Admire the Glacier des Bossons, the Mont-Blanc (4808,72m), the Aiguille Verte, the Drus and the Aiguilles de Chamonix.
Then hop in a second cable car, which in just 10 minutes takes you up to an altitude of 12,392 feet, above the seracs, the Pélerins glacier and the hanging glaciers on the north face of the Aiguille du Midi.
Experience this extreme altitude.
