Rack railway from Chamonix to the Mer de Glace (1,913 m). Adult return EUR 31.50, Voyage pack EUR 49.70. Ice cave and Glaciorium included.
Up without walking — lifts and panoramic trains to the summits and the great views.
No need to climb for hours to reach the heights: gondolas, cable cars and mountain trains haul you up in minutes to panoramas, high-altitude trails and pistes.
On the Chamonix side, the Brévent cable car and the Grands Montets one open up views facing Mont-Blanc; the legendary Tramway du Mont-Blanc climbs from Saint-Gervais.
In the Chablais and the Portes du Soleil, the gondolas of Super-Châtel, the Pléney or Mont-Chéry serve hiking and mountain biking in summer, the pistes in winter.
Timetables and fares vary sharply by season: some lifts close between two seasons. Each listing links to the resort's official site.
Many offer pedestrian uphill-only tickets, to enjoy the panorama without skiing or hiking.
