Tramway du Mont-Blanc (TMB)

The historic Tramway du Mont-Blanc is France's highest rack railway, ascending from Le Fayet or Saint-Gervais-les-Bains to the Nid d'Aigle (Eagle's Nest) at 2372m. This scenic journey offers spectacular views and is a popular starting point for the classic Mont Blanc ascent route via the Goûter Hut. In summer, it provides access to various hiking trails, and in winter, it can be used for ski touring access. The journey itself is an experience, tracing the mountain's contours. Fares vary by segment and season, typically 30-45 EUR for a return to Nid d'Aigle.
