Aiguille du midi cable car

100 pl de l'aiguille du Midi, 74400 Chamonix-Mont-Blanc
Discover the Aiguille du Midi, Chamonix's iconic attraction for over 60 years. In just 20 minutes, the cable car takes you from the town center to the gates of the Haute Montagne, at an altitude of 3842 meters.
Up there, a 360° panorama of the French, Swiss and Italian Alps awaits you, with a breathtaking view of Mont Blanc from the summit terrace. For the more adventurous, take on "Le Pas dans le Vide", a glass box suspended above a 1000-metre drop.
