118 with him, believed it was possible to make this great mountain accessible to all. It is a tale of research, inventiveness, and effort. It took unmeasurable dedication to make the Skyway Monte Bianco what we see today. As light as wonder. A cable stretched to join land to sky. THE ASCENT You can reach 3466 metres at Punta Helbronner to find yourself in the proximity of Monte Bianco and the 4000 d’ Europa in only 20 minutes. Over two thousand metres of difference in altitude, finding yourself on the magnificent terrace “360 ° Observatory” of Punta Helbronner from which you can enjoy a view of all the Alps, from the summit of Monte Bianco, 4810 meters high which dominates the horizon, to the Dente del Gigante, the gaze is lost between the serac and the pastelcoloured granite towers. The departure is from the Courmayeur station in the hamlet of Entrevès (1,300 m.), aboard spherical cabins, like spaceships suspended in the air, which touch the back of Mont Blanc, which rise in a gentle climb, towards the highest point of Italy. The cabins are equipped with crystalline glass walls: a special heating system prevents them from fogging up or freezing. During the ascent, each cabin rotates, offering a 360 ° view of the peaks of Mont Blanc and the other majestic four-thousandmetre peaks of the Aosta Valley: Cervino, Gran Paradiso, Monte Rosa, Grand Combin. The three stations, Courmayeur The Valley at 1300 m, Pavillon_The Mountain at 2200 m, and Punta Helbronner The Sky at 3466 m, are connected by two cableway sections, which are protected spaces built in glass and steel that harmonize with the surrounding environment. COURMAYEUR_THE VALLEY The dream begins in Courmayeur, at 1,300 metres above sea level, with the ascent to the highest peak in the Alps. In the first station of Skyway Monte Bianco, you will find the Café Des Alpinistes for a quick breakfast or lunch before or after the ascent at Mont Blanc, large outdoor or indoor parking, bus parking, and luggage storage.
