Aiguille des Grands Montets, Mountain summit in Chamonix-Mont-Blanc, France

The Aiguille des Grands Montets is a pyramidal peak of dark grey rock and snow in the Mont Blanc massif, rising to 3,296 metres above the village of Argentière in the Chamonix-Mont-Blanc commune. Its rounded snow-capped summit carries a rectangular building with a flat light grey roof and a tall mast painted in red and white bands, with a second shorter red-and-white pole beside it.

Since 1963 a cable car has climbed from Lognan, the intermediate station above Argentière, to the summit of the Aiguille des Grands Montets. A fire on 11 September 2018 badly damaged both cable car sections at Lognan, closing the lift for several years. The Compagnie du Mont-Blanc chose a full rebuild, with stations designed by Italian architect Renzo Piano.

The peak draws mountaineers and skiers from around the world who use it throughout the seasons. The cable car system and surrounding routes reflect how this location serves different skill levels and interests.

The cable car operates according to weather conditions and reaches multiple areas at different difficulty levels. Visitors should bring warm clothing and suitable gear, as mountain weather can change quickly at this elevation.

The summit station, reached by cable car since 1963 via the Lognan intermediate station, stands at 3,296 m according to French sources. A fire at Lognan on 11 September 2018 badly damaged both cable car sections, closing the lift for years; a full rebuild was entrusted to architect Renzo Piano.
