Téléphérique du Brévent, Aerial tramway in Chamonix-Mont-Blanc, France
The Téléphérique du Brévent connects Chamonix town to the summit station at 2525 meters, offering direct views of the Mont-Blanc mountain range.
The cable car system has transformed winter sports access in Chamonix since its installation, making mountain activities available to visitors throughout the year.
Local mountain guides regularly use this lift system to introduce visitors to Alpine sports traditions and mountain safety practices in the French Alps.
The cable car journey includes two segments: a gondola ride to Planpraz at 2000 meters, followed by a final ascent to Le Brévent summit.
During summer months, the Planpraz middle station functions as a launching point for paragliding flights over the Chamonix valley.
