Pic Blanc Summit & Ice Cave

Accessible via the Pic Blanc cable car, the summit at 3,330 meters offers unparalleled 360-degree panoramic views over one-fifth of France, including Mont Blanc, Mont Aiguille, and the Italian border. It's the starting point for the legendary Sarenne black run and several challenging off-piste routes. A unique attraction is the Ice Cave (Grotte de Glace), carved into the glacier at 2,700 meters near the Dôme des Rousses. Each year, sculptors create new ephemeral ice artworks within, making it a magical, albeit chilly, experience. Access to the ice cave is included with a ski pass or can be visited separately. Open throughout the winter season, weather permitting. The Pic Blanc cable car also operates for scenic views in summer.
