Skyway Monte Bianco
An engineering marvel, the Skyway Monte Bianco is a futuristic rotating cable car offering a spectacular ascent to the heart of the Mont Blanc massif. The journey begins in Entrèves (1,300m), ascending to Pavillon du Mont Fréty (2,173m) and finally to Punta Helbronner (3,466m). At Pavillon, visitors can explore botanical gardens (summer), a high-altitude wine cellar, and restaurants. Punta Helbronner boasts the 'Terrazza Panoramica,' a 360-degree circular terrace with uninterrupted views of Mont Blanc, the Matterhorn, Monte Rosa, and the Gran Paradiso. It also provides access to the Mont Blanc Glacier for experienced mountaineers and freeriders (in winter). Round-trip tickets typically cost €55-60. Open almost year-round, with specific closure periods for maintenance.
