Vallée Blanche Aerial Tramway, Gondola lift in Chamonix-Mont-Blanc, France.
The Vallée Blanche Aerial Tramway connects Aiguille du Midi to Pointe Helbronner through a system of cables suspended over glacial terrain at 3777 meters altitude.
The construction of this transportation system began in 1954 and concluded in 1958, introducing an innovative support structure designed specifically for glacial environments.
The tramway serves as a connection point between France and Italy, enabling winter sports enthusiasts and mountaineers to traverse the Mont Blanc massif.
The cable car operates from May to September, offering round-trip tickets at 117.50 euros for adults and 99.90 euros for children between 5 and 14 years old.
The system extends over three miles, with nearly two miles running without supporting structures underneath, utilizing specialized ropes measuring 315 meters between rock formations.
