Téléphérique des Glaciers de la Meije

The unique, two-stage Téléphérique des Glaciers de la Meije is the heart of La Grave's mountain access. It ascends from the village at 1450m, reaching the Col des Ruillans at 3200m, with a mid-station at 2400m. From the top, a drag lift further accesses the Girose Glacier. This lift is famous for opening up vast, unpisted, high-alpine terrain for freeride skiing in winter and mountaineering/hiking in summer. It runs from early December to early May for winter season and early July to late August for summer season. A single round trip ticket typically costs around 30-35 EUR, with various multi-day and seasonal passes available. Note that this lift serves expert terrain; no groomed slopes are available for descent.
