Circuit découverte : Le tour du Mont-Blanc par son tunnel

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.<br/>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. Also explore "Le Tube", a steel gallery at 3700m, and "Espace Vertical", the world's highest museum dedicated to mountaineering.
For the full experience, fly over the Glacier du Géant to Italy on the Panoramic Mont-Blanc gondola (summer only, extra charge).

Dining options, including the "3842m" restaurant, are available at the summit. Halfway up, you can stop off at Plan de l'Aiguille (2310m), a starting point for summer hikes.
