Monte Bianco Courmayeur
Experience breathtaking views of Mont Blanc via the Skyway Monte Bianco, a rotating cable car offering a 360-degree panorama of the highest peaks in Europe. Though located a short drive from La Thuile (approx. 20-30 minutes), it's an unmissable regional highlight. The journey involves three stations: Pontal d'Entrèves (1,300m), Pavillon du Mont Fréty (2,173m), and Punta Helbronner (3,466m). At Pavillon, explore alpine botanical gardens, restaurants, and a shop. At Punta Helbronner, marvel at the 360° panoramic terrace, visit the 'Sala dei Cristalli' museum, and access the Vallée Blanche for expert skiers and mountaineers. Tickets are approximately €55-€60 for a round trip to Punta Helbronner. Open year-round, with seasonal closures for maintenance. It's a truly spectacular experience, offering unparalleled photographic opportunities and a sense of scale of the alpine environment.
