Heading for the summits!The adventure begins here
Your exceptional adventure in the Saint-Gervais / Les Houches ski area begins as soon as you set foot in the Saint-Gervais or Le Fayet Tramway station. En route to a memorable day’s skiing, get ready for an out-of-the-ordinary experience, starting with a ride on the Tramway du Mont-Blanc to immerse yourself in the atmosphere.
Excitement builds right from the start, as you board the tramway: its retro look (albeit refurbished) combined with a touch of nostalgia, evokes a time when travel itself was an adventure. The ascent to the heights of the resort is an experience in itself, immersing you in the spectacular nature that surrounds you, starting with the breathtaking view of the Aiguille de Bionnassay and its glacier.
Once you arrive, an equally impressive view of the Chamonix valley opens up, overlooked by its world-famous needles, starting with the Aiguille du Midi.
