France’s highest rack-train

To reach Europe’s highest summit with ease could haven been thought to be a crazy idea but became a partial reality in 1907. At the end of a daring construction, the Tramway du Mont-Blanc (Mont-Blanc Tram) reached the end of the line in 1913 at the "Nid d’Aigle" at 2380 m.

The Tram	Winter	Summer


Starting from Le Fayet, winding through the forests, close to several villages, crossing mountain meadows and braving many a tunnel, this unique train with its period rolling stock will take you as close as possible to the glaciers at the foot of Mont-Blanc …

Whatever the season, the Mont-Blanc Tram opens the doors to a veritable range of activities.

In summer, the Mont-Blanc tram takes travellers as far as the Nid d'Aigle, at the foot of the Bionassay glacier and under the Aiguille du Goûter; this is the starting point for numerous routes for rambles, mountain-biking, mountaineering, great climbs/hikes, etc..

In winter, because of the considerable snowfalls (sometimes up to 10 to 15 metres), the Mont-Blanc Tram stops at Bellevue in the heart of the Les Houches ski area. On arrival, young and old alike will be able to enjoy all the joys of winter : alpine skiing, cross-country skiing, walking or snow-shoeing, sledging, etc..
