Who hasn’t dreamed of living an exceptional experience in the heart of the very high mountains? Dream no more, experience it at the Aiguille du Midi, the highest cable car in France ! Easy to access, a large car park awaits you at the entrance to Chamonix.
L'Aiguille du Midi is the absolute dream, the place to see at least once in your life ! For skiers and their guides, it’s the starting point in winter for the mythical Vallée Blanche which leads to the Montenvers and Chamonix via the Mer de Glace.
For visitors to the Aiguille du Midi, it’s the chance to discover the high mountains in complete safety. In 20 minutes from the heart of the Chamonix valley (1035m), you reach the 3777m of the Aiguille du Midi thanks to fast and safe cable-cars. Our qualified and kindly staff are there to accompany you on this unique adventure in the heart of the high mountains !
Arrived at the top of the Aiguille du Midi, walk towards terraces which offer a breath-taking panorama ! The Mont-Blanc 1000 meters above you, the Grandes Jorasses, the Matterhorn in Switzerland, but also Pointe Helbronner on the Italian border. Thanks to the Tube, you can even go completely around the peak of the Aiguille du Midi and not miss anything, while remaining sheltered!
In case of a little hunger or great thirst, our restaurant 3842 and a self-service are there to welcome you with a smile!
At the top of the Aiguille du Midi, enjoy unique attractions such as the Espace Vertical, the highest mountaineering museum ever built in the world. Or the Espace Mont-Blanc to contemplate the mountain panorama, well-sheltered behind large picture windows. And above all, don't miss the highest attraction in Europe : the impressive “Step Into the Void” and its glass box at 3842m! 1000m of emptiness below your feet, great thrills guaranteed !
